Teapot in the shape of cauliflower, England, Staffordshire, 1760 – 1770, hard earthenware, Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics (on loan from Ottema-Kingma Stichting).
The 18th century was a time of inventions and experiments. For example, before they invented creamware, the English developed salt-glazed ware: a type of stoneware with a white body. Very striking are the teapots in the shape of a cauliflower. They reflect the renewed attention to nature at this time.
