Toleware Metal Teapot

Andrew Topolosky

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a metal teapot with a cylindrical body, a curved handle on the left, and an outwardly tapering spout on the right. The body of the teapot has a decorative pattern of red and brown loops or garlands on its upper portion. The color palette is mainly muted browns and reds against a light tan background. The teapot is centered on the canvas with the handle positioned on the left side and the spout directed towards the right, almost pointing slightly downward.
