Teapot 1810 - 1820

This silver teapot, crafted by William B. Heyer between 1810 and 1820, is a stunning example of early 19th-century American silversmithing. Its elegant design, featuring a rounded body, a domed lid, and a graceful spout, is typical of the Neoclassical style popular during this period. The teapot's ornate base with paw feet adds a touch of grandeur. This piece, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, exemplifies the skill and artistry of American silversmiths during the early 19th century.
