Like any dashing young thing worth her salt (or sugar!), the Courtly Check® Ceramic Three Tier Sweet Stand is too much fun to keep under lock and key until formal tea. Dressed to impress, the sweet stand has hand-painted tiers of Courtly Checks®, gold luster, and a decorative solid brass petiole and finial. This signature piece begs a front-and-center role with everyday uses, not to mention cream puffs and petit fours. With a beautiful juxtaposition, our deceptively simple signature checks reveal an intricate spectrum of toned colors. Handmade, fired, glazed, fired again, hand-painted, fired again, and embellished with luster, each piece is stamped by the artisans involved in its creation.
