Teapot 1880

Tiffany & Co.'s "Teapot" (1880) is a sterling silver teapot with a square body and a lid adorned with a jade finial. The teapot's hammered surface is embellished with a relief design of a fish swimming through reeds, with gold and copper accents. This teapot reflects the artistic influence of Japanese art on American design during the late 19th century.
