<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 494211, member: 2844&quot;]A gorgeous little teapot, S Wolf, and yes, made for teh poci. </p><p>The lid of the poci is very domed, unlike Chinese teapots. That is how you can tell the Javanese and Chinese pots apart. </p><p>I think the metal fittings are rare, but they remind me of antique Chinese porcelain here in the Netherlands.
