Teapot 1779 - 1780

This silver teapot, crafted by Francis Stamp in 1779-1780, is a fine example of English silversmithing. The teapot's elegant design features a knobbed lid, a slender spout, and a wooden handle. The surface is beautifully adorned with engraved details, including a central oval surrounded by intricate floral motifs. The teapot's restrained, classic style reflects the prevailing taste for refined elegance in 18th-century England. It is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
