Teapot c. 1745

This white salt-glazed stoneware teapot, made in the Staffordshire Potteries, England around 1745, is a prime example of the popular "Camel Teapot" design. The teapot is molded in the shape of a camel with a long, curved neck that serves as the spout. The teapot's body is decorated with relief carvings of a man on horseback and a floral design, reflecting the growing fascination with the East during this period. The teapot's simple, yet elegant design, embodies the style of English ceramics in the 18th century. The "Camel Teapot" is a popular piece among art and design enthusiasts.
