Teapot 1800 - 1810

This silver teapot, crafted between 1800 and 1810, exemplifies the elegant designs of the early 19th century. Attributed to William Forbes, a noted silversmith of the period, it features a refined form, a delicate floral pattern on the body, and a distinctive black handle. The teapot, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, serves as a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the era.
