Teapot 1879 - 1883

This blue and white ceramic teapot, crafted by the Chelsea Keramic Art Works between 1879 and 1883, features a charming design of birds amidst bamboo stalks. The raised relief details create a tactile experience, enhancing the visual appeal of the piece. This teapot, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a fine example of late 19th-century ceramic artistry and the enduring popularity of Chinese-inspired motifs in Western decorative arts.
