2 Cultural Revolution Rice/Grain Pots with Sunflowers

Individual Serving Tea Pot This Cultural Revolution teapot is an interesting and unusual size - about a cup and a half capacity, which could in retrospect could have been seen as promoting individualism by actually allowing individuals to determine the amount or type of tealeaves to use, rather than submitting themselves to the will of the masses and using a communal teapot.
