I-hsing stonewareexpand_more
Gift of Ruth and Bruce Daytonexpand_more 2000.36.8a,b
This miniature stoneware teapot is of the classic brick-red color associated with I-hsing ware. A brief poetic line engraved before firing reads:
One spoonful of talent fills eight pecks.
followed by the engraved sinature of Liu P'ei.
Under the base is impressed a potter's seal of Chih-yuu which might possibly be an art name of Liu P'ei. Inside the lid is a standard mark, commonly used on small teapots shui-p'ing indicating that the tip of the spout and the teapots rim are level so the lid will sit flat across them, a standard position indicating the pot is empty.
