Individual Serving Tea Pot

This Cultural Revolution teapot is an interesting and unusual size - about 2 cups capacity, which could in retrospect could have been seen as promoting individualism by actually allowing individuals to determine the amount or type of tea leaves to use, rather than submitting themselves to the will of the masses and using a communal teapot.

The idyllic scene is one of a village with small factory and mountains in the background and interestingly a flower in the foreground. The cover is inscribed, 'Serve the People'.

The teapot is 5.5 inches high. The cover lid inside nib is missing, otherwise there are no imperfections. It was manufactured in 1971 by the Li Ling Guo Guang Ceramic Factory.
