The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation
Williamsburg, United States
This teapot bears the marks of two Baltimore silversmiths. It was made in the shop of Baltimore silversmith Charles L. Boehme (1774-1868), but his mark is over stuck three times with the mark used by Robert Monteith (active 1814-1849). Additionally, the teapot is stamped with the word “Sterling.” Robert Monteith was among the Maryland silversmiths who, in 1814, protested the establishment of an assay office in Baltimore.
