Titled "Hager the Giraffe," this striking figural piece is sculpted into an elongated giraffe with a beautifully textured, deep rust-brown mane and vibrant, hand-painted stylized spots. The giraffe's stylized head functions as the pouring spout, while the sleek lines of its body seamlessly curve into an elegant handle.
The removable lid features a perched, whimsical tropical dodo bird adorned with its original, delicate wire accent antennae topped with gold metallic beads. The base of the teapot is exquisitely detailed with all original hallmarks, including the printed SWAK lips logo, a gold-foil Lynda Corneille stamp, the 2004 copyright mark, and the factory serial sticker. A sensational statement piece that brings an instant punch of joyful, eclectic maximalism to any space. See less
