Stand
Artist/maker unknownThe decoration on this stand, known as the "Quaker Farmer" pattern, is according to Morris family history based on a drawing made by Mary Hollingsworth Morris (1776-1820). Mary was married to Israel Morris, the tenth child of "Captain" Samuel Morris, a prominent Philadelphian active in the China Trade. The claim is supported by a notation on the reverse of the drawing that reads, "The China in Table & Tea Sets was recd Executed calld the Cow China. Pattern for Set of China copied by Mary H. Morris Jan. 7. 1797."
