Teapot

Daniel Van Voorhis

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The teapot by Daniel Van Voorhis has a shiny silver body with a black curved handle on the left. The handle is attached to the teapot with silver metal. A decorative border circles the lid and bottom of the teapot. The lid features a small finial on top and is slightly domed. A decorative wreath surrounds a monogram on the front. The spout is on the right and points to the right. The background is white with a subtle shadow underneath the teapot. The image is taken straight on.
