Figure 36  A pair of pickle stands in
biscuit and leather-hard states after the Bonnin and Morris originals juxtaposed next to a ca. 1765 Bow porcelain model. The additional stages of the finishing process include a biscuit firing, followed by the application of blue decoration and a final glaze firing. The unfinished stands would lose approximately 15 percent of their size during the two firings.
