This elegant teapot, stand and caddy, in the retrained neo-classical style typical of the 1780s, is part of a large commission of plate which celebrated Beckford's coming of age in 1781. Surviving works include silver-gilt candlesticks by John Scofield of Adam design in the Brodick Castle collection, which also includes a coffee pot, a pair of cruets by Pitts, a pair of salvers, a soup-tureen, entree dishes and other works, all dating from 1781. A pair of teapots also by Lestourgeon, the stands also by Smith and Sharp, are in the collection of the Glasgow Museum and Art Gallery.

The form of the teapot and stand in the Hewat-Jaboor collection is identical to the celebrated gold teapot and stand commissioned by Beckford in 1785 from Daniel Smith and Robert Sharp, now in the collection of the Barber Institute, Birmingham.
