The teapot stands on a manicured lawn between the elevated highway and the exit ramp.It is 12 feet high, 44 feet wide, originally built as a giant keg by William "Babe" Devon as part of a Hire's Root Beer ad promotion. It was brought to Chester in 1938 and converted into a teapot to trumpet the region's then vibrant pottery industry.
