Benjamin Burt (1729 - 1805) was born the fifth son of silversmith John Burt (1692 - 1745). Already a prominent silversmith family, Benjamin and his older brothers Samuel (1724 - 1754) and William (1726 - 1752) likely apprenticed with their father until his death in 1745. Similar teapots by Benjamin Burt are in the collections of The Clark Institute, Williamstown, Massachusetts (Obj. No. 2003.4.222), and The Currier Museum of Art, Manchester, New Hampshire (Obj. No. 2015.2).
