Lot 44: A Victorian ironstone condiment stand with associated Imari pattern jug and dish
A ceramic condiment set comprising a white-glazed ironstone or earthenware stand and two associated vessels. The stand is constructed with a central turned column featuring a spherical finial and three circular rings designed to hold containers. It currently holds one small jug and one small circular dish, both decorated in a traditional Imari style. The decoration consists of underglaze cobalt blue and overglaze iron red and orange, depicting large peonies and stylized foliage with detailed veining on the leaves. The jug is formed with a scalloped rim and a rustic-style handle modelled to resemble intertwined branches. A white adhesive label reading 7 is attached to the jug handle (photo 1). An orange adhesive label reading 44 is applied to the side of the jug body (photo 1). No factory marks or country-of-origin stamps are visible on the exterior of the items.
Condition report:
The set appears to be in good overall condition. One of the three rings on the stand is currently empty, indicating one vessel is missing from the original set (photo 1). Fine glaze crazing is visible on the surface of the white stand, which is a common feature consistent with the age and material of the piece (photo 1). No major chips, cracks, or restorations are evident in the provided image.
