In my experience, at least, it is unusual to find one of these in perfect condition including the strainer. Porcelain with a bisque finish on the outside, glazed on the inside, I assume to make cleaning practical. Subtle abstract pastel colors against a soft white ground. Basketry handle.
We have been collectors of Asian antique ceramics in the sense that we liked them and acquired quite a bit, but we were not students of them as we were with basketry. ...About 5" wide including spout; about 4" tall including the knob on top but not including the basketry handle. Delicate.
