Product Details

Pure frosting. A four-slice white porcelain toast rack with five scrolling rococo arches on a shaped, wave-edged base, the kind of Continental confection that looks like it was piped rather than moulded. The remaining flecks of gilding tell you it was once fully trimmed in gold. | SPECS: Four slots, five arches. Approx. 7 in long x 4 in wide x 3 in tall (confirm). Unglazed foot rim, unmarked. | HISTORY: The exuberant scrollwork and thin white porcelain body are characteristic of German and Bohemian factories at the turn of the last century, when Rococo Revival pieces like this were exported by the crate for the English and American breakfast table. No mark, so no maker or country is claimed; the date is a style estimate. | CONDITION: Gilding worn to traces across the arches. A small firing flaw and a minute nibble to the tip of one arch (center). Light surface marks to the base. Tap test pending. Sold as found; please review every photo. Stay crazed, darlings.
