Teapot

Factory of Arij de Milde Dutch
1671–1708
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 510
The teapot was made by the Delft factory of Arij de Milde, known for its red wares made in imitation of Chinese Yixing wares. In the Netherlands, the practice of tea drinking became popular among the nobility and wealthy merchant class beginning in the late 1660s and 1670s, creating demand for imported Chinese redware teapots. The factory of Arij de Milde was one of three Dutch pottery works established to create domestically-made redwares.
