A Late Victorian Cut Glass Pineapple Stand

A fine late Victorian cut glass pineapple/ham stand of smaller proportions. In Georgian and Victorian times, pineapples were hugely expensive and and to have one was a conspicuous sign of wealth. Families would sometimes have a pineapple stand in cut glass or porcelain on a side table or as a dining table centerpiece. Upturned they would also double as a ham stand and a large joint, surrounded by fruit and decoration would provide the focal point of a gathering or feast. This handsome and desirable Victorian example has a waisted centre, with extensive diamond cutting and panels of star cut shields. An unusual piece with a practical use. Dimensions below.
