Noun
teapoy (plural teapoys)
- Originally, a three-legged decorative stand or table; sometimes also having a tea chest for holding a tea service. [from 1820s]
- 2019, Nancy E. Davis, The Chinese Lady: Afong Moy in Early America:
- The teapoy, derived from the Hindi/Persian phrase denoting a three-footed table, supported a tea set or tea-related objects. Not all teapoys were tripod-like tables or sold singly. The Carneses imported lacquer teapoys in sets. These sets could be easily stacked in a corner of the drawing room and brought out at teatime to hold a teacup, a set, or a caddy. The Carneses purchased lacquered teapoys sets for four dollars in China and probably sold them for twice that amount in America.
