Description:
Cylindrical form with flat base, straight sides, sides are decoratively pierced with blossoms, stylized leaves, and dots beneath a band of molded beadwork below the rounded rim. This form, which was produced by a number of creamware manufacturers including Wedgwood, Leeds Pottery, Don Pottery and Castleford Pottery over a long period, was used for both glass stands (averaging 3 1/2 in. in diameter) and bottle stands (averaging 5 in. in diameter). A glass stand of this model, but differently pierced, is illustrated in the Leeds design book, Designs of Sundry Articles of Queen's or Cream-colour'd Earthen-Ware, manufactured by Hartley, Greens, and Co. at Leeds Pottery, pl. 48, no. 187, and referred to on pg. 9 of the design book's Explanation of the Plates as a "glass stand"; see Donald C. Towner, The Leeds Pottery, where the design book is reproduced on pp. 59-141. Condition: Minor abrasions around the footrim.
