Lot 418
A George III Carved Mahogany Bottle Stand, late 18th c., molded dished top, shaped apron, sabre legs joined by brass stretcher, height 12 in., top diameter 7 1/4 in enhanced by the method adopted in its manufacture. The colors are laid upon the china clay under the glaze. China, color and glaze are fired at the same time, producing an effect and integrity of color, which is pleasant to the eye and as durable as the porcelain itself. Five Blue-Point oyster shells cover the principal surface of the plate; beyond these are portrayed a cluster of the raccoon oysters, which are well known in the Southern Atlantic States...The background offers a glimpse of the ocean..." An identical plate is pictured in Martha Klapthor, Offical White House China, (Harry N. Abrams, 1999), p. 103.
