Teapot

George Richardson

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Teapot by George Richardson. The teapot is made of metal, likely silver, and features a rounded base that tapers upward. A short stem connects to a wide body with a rounded shoulder. Three horizontal grooves encircle the body. The curved spout extends from the left side. A handle is attached to the right side, curving upward and outward. A small finial crowns the domed lid. The teapot sits on a plain background, on a surface with two small metal rulers or scales placed in front. The image is in black and white.
