Catalogue Note
Cette théière montée en or est à rapprocher des oeuvres de Johann Friedrich Böttger (1682-1719), orfèvre à la cour d'Auguste le Fort à Dresde. On peut notamment comparer cette théière à une autre, en grès, dont la monture en or est extrêmement similaire conservée au J. Paul. Getty Museum à Los Angeles (85.DI.287).
