tiny Chinese teapot

I've got to know Kumiko san at Chaxinkyo, a Chinese tea room. She is a great Chinese tea lover
and an enthusiastic Chinese teapot collector. Once I repaired her teapots through kintsugi. Then she gave me this tiny Chinese tea pot in return whose spout had been tipped off.

It's a pity that I didn't take a picture of the original state when she gave it to me. 
The golden part in the picture had been lost which I made up with lacquer clay.
