Brief description | Silver, Continental |
Gallery label | Teapot and sugar bowl
1732–33
Sometimes earlier designs and models for luxury objects were updated with naturalistic decoration in the fashionable Rococo style. This teapot and bowl have the restrained forms of an earlier style, but have been modernised with delicately cast festoons of flowers and leaves. The lid of the bowl features cockle-shells.
