Chocolate Pot

Stephen Richard

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a shiny silver chocolate pot by Stephen Richard. The pot has a bulbous body that tapers towards the top and a short neck. A lid with a small finial sits on top. A spout is on one side and a handle on the other. The handle is made of black material, possibly wood or plastic, and has a rounded end. The pot has three legs, each ending in a small ball. A decorative element, possibly a leaf, is on the front. The background is a plain light-colored wall.
