Teapot 1735

This charming teapot, created by the Meissen Manufactory in 1735, is a delightful example of European porcelain artistry. The teapot, in the form of a squirrel, is meticulously crafted and painted in shades of brown and white, with delicate details like a leafy sprig in its mouth. This whimsical design is representative of the Meissen Manufactory’s early work, known for its animalistic figures and playful spirit. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
