While American exports were undervalued in Great Britain, imports to the Colonies were overvalued. When a shipload of tea arrived in Boston, rather than pay the import taxes demanded, colonists dressed up as Native Americans stormed the ship and dumped all of the tea into Boston Harbor. This and other actions eventually coalesced into full rebellion. (The Revolutionary War).
The decanter is ca. 6 x 4.5 x 2.5 inches (Decanter area) The neck of the decanter adds ca 1 inch extra. The Stopper is ca. 3 by 2 inches.
