Vintage 1950s Art Deco Redware Teapot – Sunburst Gilded Pink Lavender Tea Pot with Crazing (Made in Japan, Lid Missing)

This striking mid-century redware teapot offers a rare blend of elegance and rustic charm. Finished in a deep pink-lavender glaze with gold sunburst accents and rich surface crazing, it’s a gorgeous example of Japanese export ceramics from the 1950s. While the original lid is missing, the piece stands beautifully on its own—ideal for display, floral styling, or as a standalone collector’s accent. The gently fluted body and curvaceous spout evoke timeless femininity, while the metallic gilding adds a glamorous touch.. Dimensions: 7” tall x 9” from spout to handle.

Made in Japan during the height of post-war export pottery, this redware teapot was likely part of a decorative homeware line that gained popularity in American households. The “Sunburst” gilding motif and bold glaze color reflect 1950s fascination with both glamour and nostalgia. Redware, known for its deep earthen base and crackle texture, often aged into uniquely beautiful pieces thanks to its natural crazing. Today, these teapots are treasured not just for function, but for their artistic patina and historical soul.
