Teapot 1876 - 1883

This teapot, created by the American ceramicists Ott and Brewer between 1876 and 1883, is a beautiful example of late 19th-century decorative arts. The white porcelain is adorned with a delicate pattern of gold and silver leaves, and the overall effect is one of elegance and refinement.
