On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 704

The form of this stand, which was intended to hold various comfits (sugared fruits or nuts) during the dessert course of a meal, was one of the most ambitious produced at the short-lived factory of Bonnin and Morris—America’s first successful porcelain factory. The Rococo style, emphasizing repeated shell motifs and asymmetrical painted floral sprays, was in vogue in America in the 1770s.
