For #NationalTeaDay 🫖☕️:
Teapot with Fossil Decoration
British, Staffordshire, c. 1760–65
Salt-glazed stoneware with enamel decoration
4 1/4 × 7 1/4 in. (10.8 × 18.4 cm)
The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York 37.22.6a,b
“Though it's got a surprisingly modern look, this teapot was made in the 18th-century in Staffordshire—the heart of Britain's pottery industry. The area’s limestone yielded prehistoric fossils, and potters often turned them into whimsical motifs for teapots.”
