Teapot 1745 - 1755

This 18th-century teapot, crafted by Astbury-Whieldon, is a fine example of English earthenware. Its rounded body is adorned with a unique blend of brown, green, and white glazes, depicting swirling patterns and foliage. The teapot's green handle and spout are molded in a naturalistic style, further enhancing its rustic charm. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the innovative techniques and decorative styles that characterized early English ceramics.
