Vintage Oriental Double Handle Teapot

This is a lovely little Asian-style porcelain teapot, likely Chinese or Japanese inspired. A few things stand out:

Material & Design: Its ceramic/porcelain with hand-painted or transfer-printed floral and bird motifs. The bird perched on a lotus flower is a classic Eastern symbol the lotus often represents purity and renewal, while birds can symbolize joy or freedom.

Handle: The handle is made from bent bamboo wrapped with rattan, which is traditional for teapots like this. It makes it easier to hold when hot and adds a natural, rustic touch.

Lid: The lid is unusual it has two large round holes instead of a knob. This suggests its not a standard teapot for steeping loose tea. Its more likely a water-pouring pot (mizusashi) used in Japanese tea ceremony, or a sake server, where the holes help control steam or pouring flow. It could also be a decorative variation on a standard teapot.

Style: The shape (cylindrical body, short spout, upright bamboo handle) is more aligned with Japanese Kyusu-style teapots, though Chinese artisans also make similar designs.

It looks both practical and decorative something you could use, but also display as a charming piece of art.
