Sweetmeat Stand c. 1770

This "Sweetmeat Stand" is an example of the elegant porcelain work produced by the Worcester Royal Porcelain Company in the 18th century. The stand, decorated in underglaze blue, features three scalloped dishes with a whimsical dolphin handle. The design reflects the Rococo style, popular in the 1700s, with its emphasis on playful and asymmetrical forms. This piece would have been used to serve sweet treats or condiments, showcasing the craftsmanship and decorative artistry of the company.
