Description:
Chinese export porcelain lobed stand (came with tureen, HD 60.046) decorated with floral sprays in pink, orange, blue, green, and applied hand-molded scrolling vines and leaves. David Howard notes that this type of decoration would have been an expensive addition to the already well decorated pieces, but was in fashion. The technique was used principally on export ware between 1730 and 1745.
