This 18th-century teapot, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory, is a fine example of European porcelain. The teapot is in the form of a chicken, with intricate details and a whimsical design. The handle of the teapot is sculpted in the shape of a chicken's tail, adding to the overall animalistic motif. This highly-detailed, realistic sculpture reflects the popular Rococo style, known for its emphasis on playful and naturalistic forms. The teapot is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
