Teapot 1764 - 1798

This pewter teapot, crafted by William Will between 1764 and 1798, is a fine example of 18th-century American pewterware. The teapot features a rounded body, a domed lid with a finial, and a distinctive wooden handle with a carved, scrolled design. It rests on three claw feet, which were a popular design element during the period. The teapot's simple yet elegant design reflects the craftsmanship and style prevalent in American pewterwork of the time. It is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
