All colorless elements exhibit a decided gray tint. Possibly Pittsburgh area. 1850-1870. 12 3/4", 3 3/4" D foot.
Small losses to the lower tips of three applied decorative elements, which is normal on this type of object, otherwise undamaged.

Catalogue Note: According to Ken Lyon, Dr. E. R. Eller, curator of the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, attributed this piece to the Pittsburgh area. This attribution is presumably based on the gray cast of the colorless elements and the crude nature of the standard.
