Teapot 1875 - 1890

This silver teapot, produced by the Whiting Manufacturing Company between 1875 and 1890, exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship of the late 19th century. The teapot features a bulbous body, a gracefully curved spout, and a domed lid, all meticulously adorned with ornate floral patterns. The detailed engraving, covering the entire surface, showcases the artistry of the period and adds a touch of elegance to this functional piece of silverware. The teapot, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to the enduring beauty and artistry of the Victorian era.
