vintage bluebird china tea pot, hand painted Nippon porcelain teapot w/ blue birds

Vintage Hand Painted Nippon marked china tea pot with bluebirds, so pretty. It's about 7 3/4" long, holds four cups of tea.

The china has no chips or cracks, and though the gold is worn, there's no other noticeable wear to the paint. I think this was a treasured piece, never used, and often dusted!
