Teapot 1837 - 1856

This pewter teapot, created by James Dixon & Sons between 1837 and 1856, is a fine example of English craftsmanship. The teapot's rounded body and elegant spout, along with the intricate hammered surface, speak to the artistry of the period. The wooden knob on the lid and the ivory rings on the handle add a touch of elegance. Currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers a glimpse into the history of everyday objects and the evolution of design in the 19th century.
