Teapot 1807 - 1810

This silver teapot, crafted by Garret Forbes between 1807 and 1810, showcases the elegance of early 19th-century American silversmithing. The teapot's rounded body, adorned with a delicate engraved design, is supported by three rounded feet, giving it a sense of stability. The elegant, branching handle adds a touch of decorative flair. This piece is a testament to the craftsmanship of the period and reflects the growing popularity of tea drinking in America. The teapot is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
