About the Item

A rare faience topped Rörstrand tea table. The dished, moulded and shaped rectangular top decorated with a harbour szene painted in shades of grey (grisaille painting), on an elegant mahogany stand, with a candleslide on each side, on square tapering legs. The faience top is in untouched, mint condition, without any restoration, which is extremely rare. Tray tables were in common use in the 18th century, when drinking coffee, tea and cocoa became fashionable. A close examination reveals the extraordinary craftsmanship that was necessary. The mahogany stand surrounds the edges of the faience table top perfectly like a glove. Furthermore a faience top of this size rarely ever survived the firing process in one piece, which makes this tea table a real rarity.
