Cheese Stand c1855
There is no makers mark, but this stand is tentatively attributed to Evans and Glasson of the Cambrian Pottery, Swansea, Wales because of the impressed "Best Goods" a term used by them, but also by other potters. This is a good sized cheese stand which does have some crazing and areas of associated staining, which looks worse in the photograph than in real life.
Dimensions: 30.5 cm diameter, 5.5 cm high / 12 ins diameter, 2.25 ins high
