Large Antique Late 19th Century White Ironstone Patisserie Stand by Societe Ceramique

A lovely example of a scarce and highly sought after white ironstone patisserie stand, dating from the turn of the 19th and 20th Centuries, with age and wear including coffee coloured staining.

Carrying the renowned maker's mark for Societe Ceramique of Maastricht, Holland, this beautiful plain white cake stand is a fantastic large size, measuring more than 33cm in width.

Ironstone patisserie stands like this are such desirable items. They create a real centre piece or focal point for a table display and also are amazing items to have on display, perhaps as part of a kitchenalia collection, when not in use.

Aside from the light staining and general wear, it is otherwise in very good condition for its age. There is crazing all over but there are no chips or cracks The staining and wear to the top of the stand is a result of years of use, and contact with dairy produce. But overall it is a structurally sound piece with many more years of use left/.

Diameter, 33.5cm; Height, 10cm
