The Vietnamese courts dispatched envoys to China to strengthen diplomatic ties between the two countries. Beyond their official missions, these envoys also visited Chinese ceramic kilns to commission high-quality porcelain, bringing it back to meet the specific needs of the Vietnamese courts. Mandarins requested year marks on the bases as mementos of their once-in-a-lifetime embassies to the Chinese emperor. These date-marked pieces correspond to the years of the embassy journeys, serving as historical artifacts of the period. Only a very limited number of these pieces are known to exist today.
The Tân Sửu (辛丑) mark of 1841 is linked to two embassies sent to the Chinese emperor that year, each dispatched for the following reasons:
1. King Minh Mạng passed away on January 20, 1841. Immediately, a delegation was sent to inform the Chinese emperor of his death and to introduce his eldest son, who had served as crown prince for 34 years, as the successor under the dynastic name Thiệu Trị (紹治). This inaugural embassy was led by Ambassador Lý Văn Phức (李文馥).
2. In the same year, a second embassy was dispatched from Hue to the Chinese emperor, led by Ambassador Hoàng Tế Mỹ. The mission’s primary objective was to negotiate the official name of the country, Đại Nam.

The Japanese potter Sakaida Kakiemon I is credited with perfecting the method of using overglaze enamel decoration on porcelain, known as ‘Akae’. The Kakiemon kiln, in the Japanese town of Arita on the southern island of Kyushu, was founded in around 1670 and specialised in the production of wares such as this teapot, that were typically decorated with a yellow, red, blue and turquoise palette set against a milky-white ground. After the fall of the Chinese Ming dynasty in 1644, Dutch traders began to import Kakiemon porcelain to Europe where it became extremely fashionable. This eventually led to the imitation of Kakiemon patterns onto cheaper white porcelain produced in Europe, namely at the Chantilly, Chelsea and Meissen porcelain manufactories. This teapot was formerly in the collection of the Princes Oettingen-Wallerstein, Southern Germany.
