介绍（中）	银匠乔赛亚·奥斯汀（Josiah Austin）是现存的三个茶壶之一，其令人满意的苹果形状是18世纪中期波士顿茶壶的特征。这种设计的茶壶是从上到下升起的，因此盖子最终从下表面切下，并用一个扁平的三部分铰链连接到壶身上，形成一个齐平的配合。然后插入一块单独的圆形板来密封下部开口，周围是一个阶梯状的喇叭形底座身体上的纹章雕刻比封面和肩部的纹章更生动、更流畅，可以用另一只手完成。纹章和徽章是威尔家族的，由1699年在马萨诸塞州德德姆去世的英国移民罗伯特·威尔的后代使用。然而，雕刻在上手柄插座上的早期首字母S/R*E似乎早于Ware武器，这表明其所有权更早。这款茶壶的一个特别迷人的方面是，壶嘴后面有34个椭圆形的星形孔，可以防止倒饮料时茶叶溢出。
介绍（英）	One of three extant teapots marked by silversmith Josiah Austin, its satisfying apple shape is characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century Boston examples. Teapots of this design were raised from the top down, so that the lid was eventually cut out of the lower surface and attached to the body with a flat three-part hinge, creating a flush fit. A separate circular plate was then inserted to seal the lower opening, surrounded by a stepped flared foot. The armorial engraving on the body is livelier and more fluid than that on the cover and shoulder, and could have been executed by another hand. The coat of arms and crest are those of the Ware family, as used by descendants of the English immigrant Robert Ware, who died in Dedham, Massachusetts, in 1699. However, earlier initials engraved on the upper handle socket, S / R* E, appear to predate the Ware arms, suggesting an even earlier ownership. A particularly charming aspect of this teapot is the interior piercing behind the spout of 34 star-shaped holes in oval formation, which would have kept the tea leaves from spilling out when the beverage was poured.
