Teapot fabricated from molded cream colored glazed earthenware in the form of a roadster with a driver facing to the front and a spout facing to the rear. A D-shaped handle in the front is designed to connect above the trunk on a slant. The body has a large fender that covers both tires and an impression of a door. A rounded square lid reveals the top of the steering wheel and driver’s head with a silver tone glazed helmet. Silver tone glaze is also employed to adorn the car with a racing stripe outlining and uniting all parts, highlighting boundaries of the interior with thick lines and illuminating the distance with a light on the back fender. The object is photographed viewing the side and top against a light gray ground.
