Paul Revere is best known for his patriotism and his midnight ride. However, he was also a silversmith and engraver. His silver and copper works are sophisticated and elegant. His engravings were usually political and revolutionary.
This famous portrait of Paul Revere was painted by John Singleton Copley in 1768. It currently is a part of the Museum of Fine Arts Collection in Boston. It is oil on canvas and shows him with a silver teapot in hand.
The Worcester Art Museum has some of his silver works, created between 1775 and 1810.

Maybe I'm just not a huge history person, but I actually had no idea about this.
