Comments

The tilt-top stand has a lathe-turned top with the rim. The shaft is a column atop the urn and reel turnings.  It stands on three cabriole legs ending in pointed plain feet on integral pad bases. Two cleats screwed into the underside of the top allow it to swivel upward on pintles at each end of a block mounted on the top of the shaft.
