Cake Stands or Cake Salvers
And a few Banana Stands
The cake stands shown below & on the next
page are Early American Pattern Glass
cake stands available from PatternGlass.com.

Seen at right is a 'stack' of our Feather pattern
cake stands topped off with a jelly compote. 
A limited number of patterns were made in
sizes that permit creating such a stack. 
Another form of pattern glass that one might consider
are round cake plates, which
we show with our Bread Plates, seen HERE.

     The February 2010 Martha Stewart Living Magazine includes an article featuring several of our cake stands which we sent to photograph at their request. They have been returned to us & some are still available for sale. If a tiny photo of the magazine cover is located by a cake stand, it means that cake stand was featured in the magazine.

sizes, all in the same pattern ever made available for purchase.
WILLOW OAK aka Oak Leaf aka Acorn & Oak aka Wreath
pattern, by Bryce Bros. in the 1870s was made in
clear, amber, scarcely in blue and rarely in vaseline. 
One blue cake stand is a real 'find' and 3 in all different sizes is amazing!

The top one is 8 3/4" diameter; the middle one is 9 3/4" diameter and the bottom one is 10" diameter.

and is one of the most difficult of the States' patterns to find in any
form. This stand is 8 1/2" diameter and 4 1/2" high with a turned up

This is a bargain hunters delight. There are very few allover frosted
and also very few PILLOW ENCIRCLED aka MIDWAY cake stands. The base
made a clean break from the top while we were traveling home after
purchasing it. It can very easily be re glued with glass glue but we don't
want to do it prior to a shipping experience. At 9 5/8" diameter &
with an icing lip, it is a very heavy example of an early cake stand.
It was made by the Model Flint Glass Co. ca. 1889. **SOLD**

There must have been some story behind the naming of this pattern. 
It is called THE HERO aka Ruby Rosette.  This unusual form of the
pattern is 10" in diameter and 6 1/2" tall.
It was made by the Elson Glass Co. ca. 1891. $145

Bryce Higbee & Co. made this pattern and unexpectedly named
it SURPRISE! I guess part of the surprise is that they made
only a couple of pieces in the pattern between 1896 & 1905.
It is folded up, 8" long and 5" wide, a perfect size to hold a bunch
of bananas or other small fruit. A dainty display piece at $55.

and colorful glass making ability during the 1800s. This is a
vaseline - sometimes called 'canary' - colored cake stand; A
real rarity. It is 10 in diameter and 7" tall. **SOLD**

Finally! A 100 year old square cake stand. They must not have had many square pans 'back then' because very few square cake plates or stands were made. This pattern is Ivy In Snow aka Forest Ware by the Cooperative Flint Glass Co. ca. 1894. It has a wafer connection, is 10" square & 6" tall. **SOLD**

This is a 10" cake stand in the pretty, but VERY difficult to photograph
WHEAT & BARLEY aka DUQUESNE pattern. The design features a bundled spray of leaves & dainty tulip, heart & bell shaped flowers. Very Victorian! Bryce Bros. made it in the 1880s in clear, amber, & blue.

to destroy their molds. Fortunately they did not destroy all of the
dishes that had been made with them.**

What a beauty!  This is a very interesting pattern by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton ca. 1880s.  It is called by many names by collectors but the correct name is Strawberry& Currant.  It is also called Three Fruits which is a misnomer because there are many more than 3 fruits shown on all the pieces.  In fact all the forms have different combinations of fruits on them. 
This cake stand in the pattern has what appear to be blackberries & strawberries. 
It is 10 1/4" diameter and 10 3/4" tall **SOLD**
