Teapot 1880s

This ceramic teapot, crafted by Griffen, Smith and Hill in the 1880s, is a charming example of Victorian-era decorative arts. The teapot's body is adorned with a vibrant green and yellow glaze, featuring a detailed design of stylized leaves and a textured, diamond-shaped pattern. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, exemplifies the era's penchant for botanical motifs and intricate ornamentation.
