Teapot c. 1860

This silver teapot, crafted by Jean-François Veyrat around 1860, is a fine example of Rococo Revival style. The teapot features intricate, elaborate ornamentation of floral and foliate designs, which are characteristic of the Rococo era. The bird finial atop the lid and the three delicate feet add to the teapot's graceful form. This piece is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
