"Teapot, from the Novelties series (N228, Type 3)" is a chromolithograph trade card produced by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a teapot, a popular household item, with a portrait of a young woman embedded within the teapot's design. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allows for multiple colors, enhances the realism and detail of the card. These trade cards were distributed to promote Kinney Brothers' tobacco products and are considered a collectible example of 19th-century advertising and printmaking.
