This teapot is unusally fantastic, and somewhat difficult to classify based on my research. I've found them described as Persian, Islamic, Middle Eastern, and even Eastern Indian, which I know can overlap in description, but I'm not certain of how to best describe this ornate and highly detailed teapot. Persian/Middle Eastern I believe to be the most likely. Estimated age range is between late 1800s to early 1900's, but not confirmed.
