Behd a captivating creation, a French silver plated teapot by Mariage Frères, hailing from 20th-century Paris.Fashioned from silver-plated metal, it assumes the form of a seated camel accompanied by an Arabian Prince.This luxury teapot ingeniously amalgamates the camel's contours and the man's form into its functional facets. The camel's gracef neck transforms into a gracef spout, while the silhouette of the man metamorphoses into a functional handle. A touch of magic resides in the hump, now a hinged lid crowned by a handle reminiscent of a coil of rope. This remarkable attention to detail extends to every facet, capturing the texture of camel's hair and the intricacies of the man's attire in finely etched engravings.Dimensions: Height: 5.5 in Width: 10.5 in Depth: 5 in.This exquisite piece, named 'Karawan,' (Caravan) pays homage to the allure of the desert with its portrayal of the Arabian camel rider coaxing his steed to rise, the burden revealing a cleverly hinged opening. The camel teapot is a testament to inventive design and meticous craftsmanship.Radiating the essence of both man and camel traversing the sun-drenched, enigmatic lands, this teapot echoes the footsteps etched in sands, inviting voyages and moments of respite accompanied by steaming tea.This teapot carries the signature of Mariage Frères, Paris, delicately engraved in script.This teapot of Orientalist design has been crafted in the early 1990 by the French gourmet tea company Mariage Frères.This resplendent piece draws inspiration from an ancestral model residing within the esteemed clection of London's Victoria & Albert Museum.The inception of this design traces back to an earthenware rendition from approximately 1875, a creation of the esteemed Moore Brothers. This specific incarnation is showcased at the illustrious Victoria and Albert Museum in London. This teapot embodies the resurgence of fascination with Oriental motifs in 1870s Europe, reflecting the Western world's curiosity regarding the Middle East. Its charm struck a chord with patrons enamored by Orientalism, rendering it a cherished objet d'art.
A whimsical treasure offered by the venerable Mariage Frères of Paris, a premier teahouse founded in 1854, this teapot stands as a silver plated replica of glazed earthenware vessels fashioned in the mid-1870s by Moore Brothers.
