A remarkable piece of East Hampton history has returned home. ๐Ÿซ–โœจ

Now on view at Mulford Farm is a rare silver teapot passed down through generations of Colonel David and Phebe Mulford's descendants. Bearing the maker's mark of renowned Southampton silversmith Elias Pelletreau and the initials "D M P," historians believe it was likely crafted for David Mulford and Phebe Huntting around the time of their 1751 marriage.

This extraordinary heirloom, which was even featured on Antiques Roadshow, offers a fascinating glimpse into the Mulford family's history and will help inform the restoration and interpretation of Mulford Farm.

๐Ÿ“ See it on display at Mulford Farm through October 7.
๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ Through September 6: Thursdayโ€“Monday, 11 a.m.โ€“4 p.m.
๐Ÿ•ฐ๏ธ September 10โ€“October 2: Thursday & Friday, 11 a.m.โ€“4 p.m.
