The marriage between these two families occurred between George Hurst and Isabella Lee in 1741 in England. According to English tradition, the children inherited only the father's coat of arms meaning this plate was likely made during their lives.

This is a wedding crest, split to represent the two families. The left side of the coat represents a branch of the Hurst family, while the right side represents a branch of the Lee family. This is a different branch from Robert E Lee's ancestors and a variant can be seen in his coat of arms.

Lava stalactites are called lavacicles! Although now knowing the etymology they should really be called lava-icles. I guess that's harder to say though

These observations allow us to begin making interpretations about the owners. They point to a frugality and resourcefulness of an immigrant family, likely during or in the wake of the economic hardships of the Great Depression.

The IOR were somewhat rare for a frat. org. in that they accepted women as members. Tea service was heavily associated with women in the 19th century. This teapot predates the mass Temperence movements of the 1860s and 70s which were often led by women, symbolizing the beginning of this shift.

Combined with the fact that the Rechabites suffered a sharp decline in membership in the late 1850s leading many chapters to close, this teapot is most likely to have been made in the early to mid 1850s. This is supported by the style of the painted floral elements which were popular at that time.

The standard Rechabite crest has been modified with a tree growing from the shield. The recurring tree motif on the teapot is likely a reference to the 'Tree of Temperence.' The earliest example of this symbol that I could find is this lithograph from 1849.
