Teapot 1790 - 1800

This silver teapot, crafted by Isaac Hutton between 1790 and 1800, is a fine example of English silversmithing. The octagonal body is adorned with delicate engraved designs, including a prominent coat of arms, adding a touch of elegance. The teapot's unique wooden handle, a departure from the typical silver construction, adds a contrasting warmth and texture, making it a beautiful and functional piece. The teapot is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, where it continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and graceful design.
