This porcelain teapot, created by Loosdrecht between 1774 and 1778, is a fine example of 18th century Dutch decorative arts. The teapot features a delicate scene of two figures in a landscape painted in brown tones and accented with gold. The lid is adorned with a floral design in pink and gold, highlighting the elegant, yet practical, nature of the piece. It is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. This teapot exemplifies the craftsmanship and artistic spirit of the Dutch Golden Age, and its intricate details continue to delight viewers today.

Tea services represented a significant part of the production of the Loosdrecht porcelain factory. On display here are a teapot, milk jug and sugar bowl along with other less familiar parts of a tea service, such as a slop bowl, which is used to rinse and warm the cups between two ‘courses’, and a drip catcher (pattipan), which catches the drips from the spout of the teapot.
