Teapot c. 1770

This 18th-century teapot, created by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company, is a fine example of English porcelain. The teapot is decorated with delicate, hand-painted pink floral motifs, accented by gold, against a white background. The teapot's elegant form, graceful spout, and intricate decoration exemplify the refined taste of the period, reflecting the growing popularity of tea drinking in 18th-century England. The teapot is currently on display at the Art Institute of Chicago.
