Description ——- One (1), rare & out-of-production, magnificent, vintage 1960s, cast iron, HOBART fruit stand or tazza, designed by Robert Welch. Stand has its original, raw iron finish which was intentional – wabi-sabi – meant to acquire a patina of time. Piece should be kept dry. It has acquired a lightly aged patina over the years, but has been well-kept, with minimal rust. Two parts – top tray unscrews from the base. Base can be used alone as a pillar candle holder. Approximate size: 6 tall x 10 diameter, overall. Shown with a large lemon, for scale. Marks ——- marked R. WELCH ENGLAND in the casting, visible when base is unscrewed from tray. Guaranteed old and as described. Please check out my other things for more cool stuff. We have a photo studio and take all our own product photos for our listings.
