Lot Essay

The arms are those of Pott with Clarke in pretence. Cf. the very similar stand in the Hodroff Collection, illustrated by D. S. Howard, op.cit., no.104, p.109. Two similar stands were sold in these Rooms, 31 October and 2 November 1988, lots 416 and 417. For another service, probably made for the son of the owner of this service about 20 years later, with the arms of Pott quartering Clark and impaling Monro, see D. S. Howard, op.cit., p.583, where another tureen stand of this rare shape, together with tureen, is illustrated
