Teapot 1715 - 1725

This silver teapot, created by Jacob Marius Groen between 1715 and 1725, is a fine example of Dutch silverwork. The teapot, now housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, features a rounded body with a domed lid, and a distinctive wooden handle, adding a touch of warmth to the otherwise sleek, silver form. Groen's craftsmanship is evident in the intricate detail of the lid, which showcases a delicate engraved design of stylized leaves. The teapot embodies the elegance and sophistication of Dutch silver design during this period.
