The improved dish stand is configured for use with cookware, crockery, and
cutlery. The improved dish stand forms a containment structure that elevates the cookware, crockery, and
cutlery above a supporting surface. The improved dish stand receives the cookware, crockery, and
cutlery while the cookware, crockery, and cutlery is wet. The improved dish stand forms a structure that: a) allows gravity to drain water from the cookware, crockery, and cutlery; and, b) provides a flow path that transports the drained water into the DWV of a domestic plumbing
system. The improved dish stand incorporates a pedestal structure, a stand structure, and a plurality of segregated spaces. The pedestal structure is a
load bearing structure that elevates the stand structure above the supporting surface. The plurality of segregated structures are formed within the stand structure. The stand structure forms the
physical structure that receives the cookware, crockery, and cutlery.
