Teapot 1740 - 1750

This white porcelain teapot, crafted by the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory between 1740 and 1750, exemplifies the Rococo style. The teapot is adorned with intricate molded details, including a leafy design that covers its body. The teapot's handle, modeled after a piece of bamboo, further reflects the chinoiserie trend, which was popular in Europe during the 18th century. The teapot, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the Chelsea Porcelain Manufactory's craftsmanship and artistic innovation.
