Card-Suit Teapot, Bordered — Postcard by Charles Folkard

A teapot-shaped figure, patterned head to spout in playing-card suits, pours tea into a stack of saucers while a slender trumpeter in matching card motifs sounds a fanfare beside it. Spoons dance across a tablecloth scattered with cards, all swirled in rising steam. Charles Folkard frames the scene in an ornate Wonderland border.
