Teapot 1784 - 1800

This silver teapot, crafted by Standish Barry between 1784 and 1800, is a fine example of American silversmithing from the late 18th century. The teapot's simple, elegant form is enhanced by delicate details, including a beaded rim and a decorative band at the base. The teapot's wooden handle adds a touch of warmth and rustic charm. The teapot is currently in the collection of The Art Institute of Chicago.
