Pair of Late 19th c. Japanese Blue & White Cache Pot Stands

Pair of Japanese Blue and White Pot Stands – Meiji Period 
A pair of small Japanese porcelain pot stands, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century (Meiji period, circa 1880–1910). 
Each is hand-painted in underglaze cobalt blue with a scrolling border around the top rim and simple brushwork to the outer sides. 
The glaze has a soft greyish tone, with minor kiln speckling and small firing imperfections consistent with traditional production methods. 
A central drainage hole suggests they were originally intended as stands for small planters or cache pots.
