- Lot Description
English porcelain three-tiered sweetmeat stand, possibly Worcester Porcelain Factory, late 18th c., apparently unmarked, having seven upturned shell basins, polychrome floral enamel accented by parcel-gilt trim, surmounting naturalistic base with applied shell and coral motifs, tiers intact with typical scattered chips and repair to applied elements, approx 8"h, 10.25"w, 8.5"d, 5.5lbs **Provenance: The estate and interior design collection of Gay Ratliff (Martha Gay Kokernot Ratliff, Austin, Texas, 1942-2023)**
Condition
06.19.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2226: As described the stand is intact with a small number of typical minor chips and restorations with inpainting, namely at the uppermost basin and one of the basins on the lower tier, and some small reinforcements of the applied elements, as are typical, repairs are well done and likely professional, the painted and gilded decoration being overall well-retained with some typical minor abrasions, rubs, and minute flaked losses also commensurate with age and use
