Small delicate colorful teapot featuring a kingfisher bird with a long beak perched on a branch against a white background. It is made of fine porcelain, and was produced by Zeh Scherzer & Co around 1910 in Bavaria. The mark on the bottom with the ZS & Co initials denotes the time period of 1880 to 1918. 

The pattern is typically Art Nouveau. This small teapot was probably part of a set of which I have this piece and the creamer (B481) that you can also find in this store. It seems that ZS & Co produced items exclusively for Geo. Borgfelt & Co in New York during the early 20th century but I don't know if these pieces were part of it.
