Hi Matt, that's a beautiful teapot. It's a famille rose (rose medallion) overglaze enamel pattern. The shape and pigments are suggestive of the late Qing or early Republic periods (ca 1880s-1940s), although it could be earlier. One reference that might be helpful:
Feller, J. Q. (1982). Chinese Export Porcelain in the 19th Century: The Canton Famille Rose Porcelains from the Alma Cleveland Porter Collection in the Peabody Museum of Salem. Salem, MA, Peabody Essex Museum.
Priscilla Wegars at the Asian American Comparative Collection might know if they have any comparable specimens. http://webpages.uidaho.edu/aacc/

HistArch,
I'm wondering if anyone can date this teapot. It was my grandmother's, so it doesn't come from an archaeological context; I'm just curious about it.

It is enamel painted porcelain, presumably Chinese, with no manufacture marks I could identify. The last photograph is the lid.
My grandfather was stationed in the Philippines with the Naval Dental Corps during World War II, so it could have been acquired there, but who knows. Neither of my grandparents are alive to confirm anything.
Thanks.
—Matt Cross
