Punch pot 1745 - 1760

This "Punch pot" is a ceramic teapot made in the style of Thomas Whieldon, a famous English potter. Dating back to the mid-18th century, this piece is a prime example of Whieldon's signature "agateware" technique, characterized by the mottled brown glaze that resembles natural stone. The teapot is further embellished with colorful floral designs and a molded handle, adding a touch of elegance to the rustic aesthetic. The "Punch pot" is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, offering a glimpse into the artistry and craftsmanship of the English pottery industry during the Georgian era.
