An early 20th-century ironstone sauce stand by J & G Meakin, Staffordshire, defined by a clean white ground, turquoise band, and restrained gilt accent. At 8 3/4 inches in length, the scale allows for multiple uses: sauce underplate, small serving platter, celery tray, or refined accent within a layered English service. The lightness of form contrasted with the crisp banding gives it a disciplined elegance. Often photographed beneath the coordinating Johnson Bros sauce boat; that piece is sold separately.
