Teapot, Fonger Douma (attributed to), 1758
casting, h 15cm × w 18cm × d 14cm More details
The stylistic idiom of this richly decorated pot is typical for silver from the province of Friesland. Inhabitants of Amsterdam or The Hague would have thought such a piece very old-fashioned around 1760. The small town of Stavoren did not have its own assay office; the pot has been marked in Sneek.
