The teapot features a silver body with a rounded shape and short spout on left side. A decorative edge runs along the bottom and top of the body. The handle on the right side is made of brown wood with silver metal at both ends where it meets the teapot. A matching silver and brown finial adorns the top of the lid. The background is grey with a shadow cast by the teapot. The teapot is by Joseph Richardson Jr.
