Teapot Stand

Paul Revere Jr. American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 750

This elliptical teapot stand and its matching fluted bail­handled sugar basket (33.120.544) were originally part of a larger service ordered from Paul Revere Jr. in June 1796 by Jonathan Hunnewell (1759–1842). Fashioned in the prevailing neoclassical taste and engraved with delicate bright­cut swags and tassels, they closely resemble other tea wares supplied by Revere in the mid­ to late 1790s. Hunnewell’s order also included a silver teapot, a second teapot stand, and four salt shovels. The individual pieces are itemized in Revere’s ledgers, along with their weights and costs
