Description
The pedestal has a circular plinth top which sits above a sculptural frieze showing fruit, and is supported by a column which takes the form of three caryatids (Greek female figures used as architectural supports) placed back-to-back. There are laurel garlands draped around the front of each of the caryatids, and the columns are scrolled at the bottom, above the caryatids' feet.
The column is set on a triform plinth which has curved, concave edges and bears incisions reading `MADE IN ITALY,' `1492' and `MA / ..... / RA DI SI / GNA' in a roundel. The last of these marks is the maker's mark for the Manifattura di Signa, an Italian pottery workshop based in Florence which was established at the end of the 19th Century.
