    I suspect that it may be just a form of embellishment. Spouts and handles of teapots are often seen with gold decoration of some form or other.
    By coincidence, I've got a Rose Canton teapot similar in form to yours, the spout of which is decorated with a flower, possibly a Peony.

    Can't think of any significance. Very nice example.

    Many decorations in any culture originally had meaning, but most lost their significance over time.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Beautiful -- based on the different things that are painted on the spouts, I'd think they are just decorative. Not a bad thing at all.

    I would say it is just decorative. The teapot is Rose Medallion rather than Rose Mandarin.
