This is a not too often found plate warming stand or "cat". It is of English or American origin and made of maple wood. Measurements are 6 ¾” tall x 8” wide. Very skillfully turned legs. This stand is also called a “cat” because of the shape of the legs. No matter which 3 legs it rests on, there are always 3 legs to hold plates for warming on the hearth. C. 1760-1780. I have only owned 2 of these in my many years of collecting. Redware plate is not included but it is listed separately.
