清 銅胎嵌白玉茶壺 Of square section, each side inlaid with circular jade, flanked by chilling handle and tree branch spout, the cover topped with a recumbent animal. Qing Dynasty period. 茶壺以錫為材，外方內圓，上部中心向內收縮並分兩層突起作壺蓋，蓋身下層略淺，略有彎折，上層略高，又向內收縮少許，使於壺蓋與壺身過渡和緩同時又富於造型變化，蓋呈圓形，中部略向下陷，提鈕以雄獅裝飾。流嘴彎曲如鳥首，螭龍提梁。壺身四面鑲嵌白玉。錫壺作為一個獨特的門類在茶道具中佔有一席之地，傳世錫壺數量相對較少。但錫壺又因其材質輕薄，適合鐫刻，一度成為文人創作的熱門素材。
