On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 774

The Arts and Crafts Movement saw great popularity among artists and makes for Native American crafts. New Jersey’s Clifton Pottery responded to that taste by initiating a line of Indian ware with shapes derived from archaeological forms and decoration, such as the ornamentation seen on this teapot. The pottery utilized a nearly identical form with a slightly different handle and completely different finial on a teapot with a matte green glaze, as seen in an example in the collection of the Newark Museum.
