Add to album

This porcelain cake stand, also known as a comport, was made by the Glasgow potters J. and M.P. Bell & Company. It dates from between 1842 and 1880.

The top of the stand is hand-painted with a mixed bouquet of flowers and foliage.

This company, which became one of the biggest and best known potteries in Scotland, was founded by the brothers John and Matthew Perston Bell and was in production by 1842. The Glasgow Pottery, or 'Bells' as it was more commonly known, produced a wide range of wares.
