Product Description

The "No Stamp Act" porcelain 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 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 have a captive audience. Our No Stamp Act teapot makes a great gift, especially when paired with one of our teas and mugs.

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 and visit our digital collections to see the original teapot that inspired our adaptation.
