This attractively shaped sauce tureen stand celebrates the English country house in its most bucolic guise, crowning a meadow that is dotted with peacefully grazing sheep.

The border-- a tangle of florals, clusters of grapes, leaves and tendrils over a fine pebbled ground--identifies the tray as part of the "Grapevine Border" Series, Enoch wood and Son's extensive pattern featuring a variety of English scenes.
