Product Description
The Colonial Williamsburg "No Stamp Act" Teapot has been adapted from an original teapot held in the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation collections. This teapot has a cream body, red lettering, and garlands just like the original. The spout and handle are in the shape of vines, reflecting the 18th-century interest in nature. A perfect conversation piece to enjoy with guests and a fun educational tool too! Serve a history lesson with a side of cookies, and you'll be sure to have a captive audience.

Inspiration
For colonists chafing under imperial rule, the Stamp Act was the last straw. The original teapot that inspired ours was produced for the American market by British manufacturers to commemorate the repeal of the Act in March of 1766. Take a deep dive into the history of The Stamp Act on the Colonial Williamsburg website.
