Teapot on Stand with Rechaud 1875 - 1890

Christopher Dresser, a prominent figure in the Aesthetic Movement, designed this silver teapot with a stand and rechaud, dating from 1875 to 1890. The teapot’s design features a combination of simplicity and intricate details, including a domed lid with a bone finial and a handle crafted from bone as well. The teapot, crafted in silver and bone, is a fine example of Dresser’s work, showcasing his ability to create functional objects that also possess artistic value. This teapot with its stand and rechaud, now on display at The Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Dresser’s design.
