Pair of Palissy and Royal Worcester Evesham Three Tier Cake Stands
This lot offers two vintage three tier cake stands, one in the Royal Worcester Evesham pattern and one decorated in a striking black and pink floral style. Each stand has three graduated porcelain plates mounted on a central brass stem with a loop handle, making them practical for serving cakes, scones and sandwiches. The Royal Worcester Evesham stand features the well-known fruit motifs of the pattern, including pears, apples, blackberries and oranges, set against a white ground with a gilt rim. The black stand is attributed to Palissy and displays pink lily-style flowers and fine gold accents, giving it a bold mid-century character. Together the two pieces make an appealing pairing for collectors of British ceramics or those who enjoy displaying tableware.
Condition and Collectability
The condition of these stands has not been fully assessed from the photograph, and no guarantee of completeness or function is given, so prospective buyers are encouraged to view the lot or request further images before bidding. The decoration appears to be largely intact on both stands, and the brass fittings show the expected patina of age. Originality is an important factor for collectors, and the matching design of the Evesham pattern makes this stand of interest to those seeking Royal Worcester ceramics, while the Palissy piece will appeal to admirers of 20th century decorative porcelain. Their dual interest and charming vintage appearance make them suitable for display, afternoon tea settings or as a conversation piece.
