Rare antique Chinese famille verte style porcelain teapot depicting unusual variation of a classic pattern with grasshoppers and flowers. Base stamped with four-character Tongzhi (1861-1875) reign mark 同治年製, but likely a slightly later, late Qing or Republic period example.
Typical surface wear and staining both inside and outside, showing that this was well-used during its lifetime. No hairlines, just age-related crazing.
