The round shape of this teapot was taken from earlier Chinese and English ceramic prototypes. The design was particularly popular in the Boston area, and several similar examples by Jacob Hurd are known today. The engraved foliage, mask, and scrollwork around the lid, although extremely restrained in execution, are typical of his work.
