Teapot 1823

This silver teapot, attributed to Joseph Angell, is a fine example of American silversmithing from the early 19th century. The teapot, along with a matching creamer and sugar bowl, is intricately decorated with repoussé work, a technique in which the metal is hammered from the back to create raised designs. This delicate, hand-wrought piece, dated 1823, is currently on display at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. The teapot is 9 inches tall and features a stylized floral motif, adding to its decorative appeal.
