Brown Transfer Cheese Wheel Stand ~ NIPON 1888

AESTHETIC MOVEMENT BROWN TRANSFERWARE CHEESE WHEEL STAND

NIPON ~ HERON

Pinder and Bourne & Doulton Potteries
Staffordshire England
c. 1888

This Victorian English 12 1/4 inch wide x 2 5/8 inch tall footed cheese or cake stand  is transfer printed in brown.  

The clear and crisp aesthetic pattern features flowering cherry blossoms completely encasing an asymmetrical Japanesques ribbon tapestry with exotic geometric designs and a scene of a Heron in flight.  A delicious pattern.  The pattern displays the Victorian eras love of nature.

The maker is Doulton, a pottery maker working in  the Staffordshire region of England during the 19th century.  

Excellent condition and probably never used other than for display.  A great display piece.
