Teapot 1756 - 1771

This 18th-century teapot, crafted by Gottfried Aust, is a testament to the artistry of traditional German ceramics. The earthenware vessel, adorned with a vibrant red glaze, is further embellished with painted floral motifs in white, green, and black. The lid, with its own intricate design, adds to the teapot's decorative appeal. This object, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the skill and creativity of European potters during the 18th century.
