Rare Hoare Footed Cream & Sugar in Carolyn SOLD |
Footed creamer and sugars are some of the rarer items of the Brilliant Period. It’s even more difficult to find them in known patterns, like this set in Hoare’s Carolyn design.
The Carolyn design displays nicely on this pair – bands of cane frame a deeply cut hobstar on the front of each piece. These cane bands intersect with a vesica of split notching bound by a flat hobstar – Carolyn’s defining motif. The tiny handles are triple notched and the bases rayed.
