Teapot

Ott and Brewer

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The teapot by Ott and Brewer is a white ceramic teapot with a textured surface. The teapot has a rounded body and a short, curved spout on the left side. A small handle is on top, and a larger looped handle is on the right side. The teapot features a gold leaf design on its body. The leaves and stems are depicted in gold against the white background. The gold accents are applied in a way that gives them a raised appearance. The teapot sits on a gray surface against a gray background.
