Lot 211: Two Ceramic Serving Pieces: A Two-Tiered Cake Stand and a Single-Tier Serving Tray
This lot comprises two ceramic or porcelain serving pieces. The first is a two-tiered cake stand, featuring circular plates with a classic floral motif in pink, blue, and yellow, framed by a light blue ornate border with gilded accents. It is assembled with a brass-tone metal central rod culminating in a decorative, possibly heart-shaped, handle. The design and style of the two-tiered stand are consistent with floral patterns by makers such as Royal Winton Grimwades, as suggested by visual matches in research. The second item is a separate single-tier serving tray, square or rectangular with scalloped edges, displaying a dense, vibrant floral and foliage pattern in autumnal hues of orange, green, purple, and brown, against a cream ground. It is fitted with a silver-tone metal central handle. This ‘chintz’ style pattern is characteristic of designs by Midwinter Porcelon Burslem, notably similar to their ‘Old English Chintz’ range, as indicated by research. No manufacturer’s marks or identifying text are visible on the items themselves.
