Coffeepot

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

White teapot with a conical body and a small, round knob on the lid. A gold and brown design encircles the top and bottom. A scenic, oval-shaped image in gold and brown on the front shows a landscape featuring a body of water, a tree and a building with a tall steeple. The spout is on the left and the handle is on the right. The tip of the spout and part of the lid are chipped and worn. The background behind the teapot fades from dark to light gray.
