Stoneware
A cream-colored stoneware teapot shaped like a house with a dragon-like spout and handle, and a small dog figurine on the lid. This teapot is in the form of a Georgian-style mansion with a mythological dolphin-shaped handle and a <I>Chinoiserie</I> or Asian-inspired dragon spout and lion finial. The object is composed of stoneware that, while in a slip or liquid consistency, was poured into an alabaster or plaster mold in the shape of the teapot. Gallery G331 Gift of Mrs. Sumner T. McKnight
