This pattern is unusual and is not repertoried in the book of Pierre L. Debby, Tobacco leaf and Pseudo, A Tentative inventory, La Société des Amis du Musée national de Céramique Sèvres, 2013 but a very similar pattern, also with parrots is repertoried as the model B13 (pp. 186-189).

The form of the teapot, with bamboo-molded handle and spout is well known on “Tobacco Leaf” and “Pseudo-Tobacco Leaf” patterns.
