Teapot 1718 - 1719

This silver teapot, crafted by Thomas Langford I between 1718 and 1719, is a fine example of early 18th-century English silversmithing. The teapot's elegant, octagonal form and domed lid are hallmarks of the period, while the engraved crest adds a touch of personalization. With its sleek design and practical function, this teapot would have been a cherished item in any well-appointed home during the Georgian era. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the teapot stands as a testament to the enduring artistry of its creator.
