A pair of decorative ceramic teapots, both executed in a blue and white palette with cobalt blue underglaze decoration on a white ground, consistent with Chinoiserie style. The first teapot features a distinctive torus or doughnut-shaped body with a central circular opening, a curved spout, a domed lid with a finial, and a stylized handle resembling a dragon or beast head. Its surface is adorned with peony blooms and scrolling foliate motifs. The second teapot has an octagonal faceted body with panels depicting floral sprays, a curved spout, a domed lid with a finial, and an overhead arched handle with stylized zoomorphic or scrolling elements. Both teapots rest on rectangular bases. The base of the torus-shaped teapot is marked “MADE IN CHINA” in blue script.
