Teapot

Thai Celadon Teapot
This teapot is part of a larger 117-piece serving set from Thailand, given to Mrs. Rosalynn Carter in February 1979 by Prime Minister Kriangsak Chomanan and his wife Khunying Virat Chomanan. All of the pieces are ceramic with a celadon glaze (Thai Celadon) and are decorated with Thai motifs, part of a 2000-year old craft tradition.
