Small, delicate, finely modeled porcelain teapot in the form of on one side a dandy with bangs, long red hair, and a moustache, wearing a kind of pink artist's cap, his head tilted slightly right, his large collar bound with a loose pink tie over a smartly tailored green suit, with a large yellow sunflower on his left breast, his left arm bent and resting on his hip, forming the teapot's handle, his right arm slightly outstretched and bent at the elbow, with his right hand limp and pointed downward, forming the spout; on the other side, the teapot is in the form of a woman sporting a similar hairstyle, her hair also red, wearing a large white ruffled collar, a similar cap on her head, and a large white lily on her right breast over her fitted, green smocked gown, in opposition to her companion, it is her right arm that is bent to form the handle and her left arm is outstretched and bent at the elbow to form the spout; the head is removable, forming the cover, with a band of gilding around the foot.
