Postcards, The World’s Largest Teapot

12 Feet in Height, 44 Feet in Width. “The Teapot” was originally brought to Chester, West Virginia to represent the largest pottery industry in the world at one time. It was a Hire’s Root Beer Barrel advertisement and, in 1938, was brought in to Chester where it was converted to a teapot. In 1990, its restoration was completed by a group of citizens from the City of Chester, WV.
