The squat, somewhat angular body of the pot is crafted from a dark, reddish-brown clay, which provides a dramatic contrast to the metallic gold decoration. The artwork depicts figures in what appears to be traditional or historical garb, notably a bowman or archer poised with a drawn bow, surrounded by stylized elements suggesting landscapes, such as trees and wispy clouds. The golden graphics are intricate and appear hand-painted, adding significant visual texture and depth. The teapot is shown both fully assembled and with its lid removed, revealing the unglazed reddish-brown interior. The lid itself mirrors the body's decoration, adorned with scrolling golden floral or foliate designs centered around a small knob handle. This piece combines the rustic simplicity of unglazed clayware with the elegance of gilded decoration, making it a distinctive piece of display art.
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 )
