Deksel van bouilloire 1817

This silver teapot, "Deksel van bouilloire" (Lid of a Kettle), was crafted by Fa. Diemont in 1817. The piece is made of polished silver with a wooden handle, a common material choice for functional objects in the early 19th century. The simple yet elegant form of the teapot, with its rounded body and delicate spout, reflects the classic design principles of the period. The teapot's dimensions, 3 cm high, 14.5 cm wide and 11 cm deep, suggest a small but substantial piece. While the maker, Fa. Diemont, remains somewhat obscure, the work highlights the skilled craftsmanship of the era and the enduring appeal of functional silver objects.
