Teapot 1805 - 1815

This silver teapot, crafted by renowned French silversmith Jean-Baptiste-Claude Odiot between 1805 and 1815, showcases the intricate details and elegant design of Neoclassical silverwork. The teapot's rounded body, adorned with a central relief depicting a figure riding a lion, is a testament to the revival of classical themes in art during this period. Its ebony handle, with its gold accents, adds a touch of refinement to the piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
