Teapot 1725 - 1745

This Vienna porcelain teapot, dating from 1725 to 1745, is a charming example of the Rococo style. The delicate, hand-painted decoration of the teapot features a central scene of a deer in a forest, surrounded by floral motifs. The teapot is crafted from white porcelain, and features a domed lid topped with a stylized finial. This small but beautifully decorated object, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the Viennese porcelain industry during the 18th century.
