TEAPOT STANDS

Silver serving trays for tea services did not come into existence until c1790, the early teapots being provided with a

small specially made undertray, known as a teapot stand. The shape would have conformed to the teapot for which it was made.

As the larger serving trays made their way into service, many small exquisite teapot stands found separate use in the home - for cards,

small service or clearing trays (as salvers), and even serve today as very elegant coasters for glasses on tables.
