Context:
The most complete Revere service to survive intact, this set was made for a Boston merchant and his wife, John and Mehitable Templeman. It includes one of only two known examples of tea caddies made by Revere; an expensive and fashionable commodity, tea was kept in these locked boxes. The shell-shaped spoon was used for measuring tea and the sieve was used for straining punch, a beverage often served along with tea. The second stand may have been used as a tray for spoons no longer in use. The accompanying teaspoons have only recently been reunited with this service.
