This is an exceptional early Taza Pedestal Footed Cake Stand Hand Painted Flowers made by Royal Worcester in famous Flowers Botanical pattern 9522.
There is a beautiful flower bouquet in the center, detailed printed brown border and burgundy/dark red band with luxurious gold trim.
It has had purple underglaze mark, that dates the piece at 1880.
The stand is hand painted. You can see the strokes of the paint.
The stand is 9 3/4" in diameter and 2" tall.
It is really extraordinary piece.
The taza is in very good condition. There is only some very fine crazing. There could be some small flaws consistent with age and use.
Exceptional collector’s piece. Would have a place in any china collection.
