This appears to be a vintage or antique dark-clay teapot, likely of Chinese origin, characterized by its rounded, squat body and rich, textured black surface. The teapot is adorned with vibrant polychrome and gold enamel decorations, featuring two distinct scenes of figures in traditional robes (possibly scholars or officials) set against a backdrop of trees, mountains, and dotted ground cover. The gold detailing is extensively used, particularly on the trees and the stylized patterns covering the lid, creating a striking contrast against the dark clay. The base of the teapot features a square, impressed seal mark with four Chinese characters that read "乾隆年製" (Qiánlóng Nián Zhì), which translates to "Made in the Qianlong Reign" (referencing the 1736–1795 Qing Dynasty period), although such marks are commonly used on later wares as a style tribute rather than an indicator of true period production. The overall aesthetic suggests a piece intended for decorative use, showcasing traditional East Asian artistry. ( Not for tea serving )
