Teapot Teapot
This is a teapot. It was made by Samuel Kirk and manufactured by Samuel Kirk & Son. It is dated 1830–1846 and we acquired it in 1976. Its medium is silver, ivory. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
The use of overall flowers and scroll repoussé decoration was popular with middle-class English and American consumers starting in the 1820s. The style became associated with Baltimore, especially through the work of Samuel Kirk and his successors. Kirk initiated the style in this country for domestic wares, and variants of it are still produced today. It is more unusual to see it in presentation pieces such as Reed’s ewer.
