The Dish Cross is of typical X form with sliding supports. The shaped base of each support is modelled to simulate a flower head. The top section of the support, where the dish would be placed, is also pierced with a stylised fan shaped design. The section where the supports slide along the arms is pierced with trellis work and the arms each terminate in a stylised flower head. The central baluster burner would have contained the wick and paraffin and has a detachable cover which is decorated with gadrooned and reeded bands. The Dish Cross is in excellent condition and is of a beautiful design. This piece is very well marked on the burner, each of the arms and the feet - in total in eleven places.
