Punch pot 1750 - 1760

This "Punch pot" is a teapot made at the Longton Hall factory in Staffordshire, England, between 1750 and 1760. The porcelain teapot is decorated with a naturalistic design of green and white grape leaves and purple grapes in relief. The highly detailed design was likely inspired by the Rococo style, a popular artistic movement in Europe during the 18th century. The teapot is now part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
