Teapot with a landscape and flower sprays c. 1780

This 18th-century teapot, crafted around 1780 by the artist Berlijn, is a fine example of porcelain artistry. The teapot is decorated with a black and white landscape scene of a fortified city, surrounded by a wreath of colorful floral sprays. The scene is enclosed in a circular gold frame, and the lid is topped with a stylized pink flower bud. The delicate details and rich colors showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the period, while the landscape motif hints at the popularity of European travel during the 18th century.
