AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This object is an antique Dutch silver teapot (trekpot) from the 18th century, executed in a richly decorated Dutch Rococo style.
Marks:
Keurkamer Friesland 18e eeuw
Stadskeur Leeuwarden
Jaarletter E -1757
In lodewijk de XIV stijl
Such teapots are traditionally in the Netherlands also called a trekpot.
They were used to let a very strong tea base steep, which was then diluted in the cup with hot water from a larger water kettle.
Features of the shown silverware:
The pot has a pear-shaped or globular body with a constricted neck and stands on a subtle, domed foot.
Repoussé: The belly, shoulder and lid are masterfully decorated with repoussé relief consisting of rocaille curls, shell motifs, volutes
Details: The spout is beautifully shaped, often ending in or decorated with the head of a mythological creature or bird. The handle has an elegant, C-shaped curl.
Lid knop & Ketting: The loose or hinged lid is crowned with a figurative lid knop (often a miniature figure or lion cub). The spout and the lid are connected by a fine silver chain to prevent the lid from falling during pouring.
Type of silverware is typical for the high-quality silversmithing from Frisian and Dutch cities (such as Leeuwarden, Sneek, Groningen and Amsterdam) from the middle and the second half of the 18th century.
