This large square ironstone MARGARINE display advertising stand was originally used for displaying butter, margarine and other dairy products on the grocer’s shop counter. It measures 14” long x 14” across and 2 1/2” tall.
The decorative advertising is printed in black. This is a great antique one.
These pieces supplied grocers and butchers the slabs to offer a customer to purchase slices of margarine, cut off and sold. A sturdy stand was meant for the heavy duty trade use and easily adaptable to a country kitchen or a contemporary cheese and wine shop.
Unfortunately it was broken in half and glued back together. A very heavy substantial piece. The workmanship is similar to early plumbing fitting, was meant to be durable. A great decorative example, offered as is.
