Teapot c. 1770

This 18th-century teapot, crafted by the Fürstenberg Porcelain Factory, is a fine example of European porcelain artistry. The white porcelain body is delicately decorated with a landscape scene enclosed by a purple floral border. The scene depicts a village with trees and a church spire, showcasing the meticulous detail and craftsmanship of the time. This teapot is a testament to the enduring popularity of tea drinking and the sophisticated taste of the era, and it is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
