1765 "No Stamp Act" Teapot

A rare teapot of political significance in the 18th century is expected to attract bids of around £2,000 with a Lichfield auctioneer.
The five-inch tall teapot, thought to have been made around 1765 by Josiah Wedgwood, was found in a home in Little Aston and is being sold by Charles Hanson on April 15.
It is marked “Success to Trade in America” and “No Stamp Act” – a political stance against tax imposed on the colonies by Britain because it was £800 million in debt following war in Europe.
The tax and its unpopularity set in motion protests which led to the American Revolution of 1776.
