Teapot

attributed to Fonger Douma, 1758

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.
