Teapot

Hugh Wishart

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Teapot by Hugh Wishart. The image shows a teapot made of silver or a silver-like metal. The teapot has a rounded body with a flat bottom and four small spherical feet. A floral etched design wraps around the middle section. A curved spout extends from the left side. The handle is on the right side, curved, and ends in a decorative scroll. A small finial sits atop the domed lid. The teapot appears to have a dark patina. The background is plain and light-colored. The image is in black and white.
