teakettle

Teakettle. Culture: American. Dimensions: Overall: 10 1/8 x 10 5/8 in. (25.7 x 27 cm); 47 oz. 13 dwt. (1481.7 g) Base: Diam. 7 3/8 in. (18.7 cm) Body: H. 7 7/16 in. (18.9 cm). Maker: Cornelius Kierstede (1674-ca. 1757). Date: 1710-20. As in England and the Netherlands, tea drinking became increasingly popular in colonial America, creating a demand for specialized tea equipment such as teapots, sugar bowls, and creampots. This bold, pear-shaped teakettle with bail handle is an extremely rare form in American silver. Its decorative bird's-head spout, distinctively Dutch in inspiration, enlivens the unadorned body, which probably sat on an accompanying spirit-lamp stand. The kettle descended in the de Peyster family to Anne (Stevenson) Van Cortlandt (1774-1821)--whose initials are engraved in script on the side of the body--and, ultimately, to the donor.
