Hi all,
I have been lurking for quite a while in the hopes of learning more about this odd teapot. After a year, I’m no further. Most of what I find is more elegant, while this seems a bit whimsical. It make me think of what a Munchkin would look like if The Wizard of Oz had come from Japan.
Thanks for any suggestions on a direction where I can look to find out more about it.

name of book is Teapots by Tina M. Carter printed in 2000.Before 1921 Japan was known as Nippon. Your teapot has some cobalt blue on it is why I think it was made in late 20-30ties. They used a lot of cobalt blue back then.. There is no pictures in the book going back that far Just a history of Japan teapots.
