Teapot 1750 - 1760

This teapot, created by the Wedgwood-Whieldon partnership between 1750 and 1760, is an example of early English earthenware. The piece is decorated with a unique “salt-glaze” technique, characterized by the use of salt during firing, resulting in a textured, speckled finish. This teapot, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the advancements in ceramic production during the 18th century, showcasing the partnership's distinctive style and craftsmanship.
