Teapot - "Mt. Vernon" c. 1936

This teapot, titled "Mt. Vernon," was created by Helmut Hiatt, a well-known artist, in 1936. The teapot features a detailed depiction of Mount Vernon, the historic home of George Washington, surrounded by a floral motif. The teapot's square base, detailed spout, and ornate handle are characteristic of the Art Deco style. It is a fascinating example of how historical themes and stylistic elements combined to create a beautiful piece of functional art. The teapot's dimensions are 20.3 x 25.4 cm (8 x 10 in.), making it a relatively small but impressive piece.
