Teapot c. 1785

This teapot, created by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company around 1785, showcases a delicate black and white landscape scene of a bridge, a castle, and trees. The teapot's simple form and elegant design are characteristic of the Worcester porcelain style, known for its high-quality craftsmanship and sophisticated aesthetic. This piece, currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the evolving taste for decorative arts during the late 18th century, with its emphasis on natural imagery and refined elegance.
