1990.2.A-B.FA, Teapot, Shreve & Co., American, c. 1911


GENERAL DESCRIPTION 
As a medium-sized producer of commercial wares, Shreve & Co. did not hesitate to adopt the simplified aesthetics of the reform style. Items such as this teapot were primarily made on a lathe, with hammer marks added later. The shape of this teapot was based on Japanese porcelain prototypes. This model was available with a stand and burner.
