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 included an article featuring several of our cake stands which we sent to photograph at their request. They have been returned to us & a few are 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. You can click those little magazines to see what it looks like on the page in Martha Stewart Living.
Damage, if any, to these cake stands will be mentioned in the listing.

This is a FINECUT pattern from a maker that has yet to be attributed.
It is surely 1800s vintage Square cake stands are very difficult to find and in color,
they are almost impossible. This beauty is 10" square and 6 1/2" tall.
Old Gold/ Amber is the perfect color for Thanksgiving, Christmas or other celebration. $225
This is one really big FINECUT pattern from a maker that has yet to be
attributed by us, anyway.  It is an 1800's vintage and it is a full 11" square
and 8" tall with a nice icing lip.  $185
RIBBON CANDY is the name of this pattern which really looks like.... ribbon candy! 
It is a cutie and only 6 1/4"in diameter.
Some call these tiny stands Toy or Children's glass, but certainly it is appropriate
for serving little bites for big folks too. It is $85.
We have more of these small stands in our Toy Glass Misc. Store HERE.

"brandy well". It has one chip underneath the rim, seen HERE.   $345

This cake stand is
shown in vaseline
color on page 64.

Measuring 9 1/2" across & 6 3/4" high, it has an icing lip.
This is a heavy cake stand & the plate and
the standard are held together by a wafer connection.
The color is a rich amber - 'old gold' & it compliments all occasions. $195

ASHMAN is a very popular pattern we have a hard time keeping
in stock. Here is the cake stand - an unusual shape with the 
9 3/4" diameter round icing rim set atop a square platform.
The pattern was made by Adams & Co. ca. 1880s. It is $175.
DOMINION pattern was made by L. E. Smith Glass Co.
ca. 1950. It is only 4 3/4" tall.  This is a chance to get a 12" - rare size

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!
They all have turned up edges to form an icing lip & all are 4 1/4" tall to the top of that icing lip. The top one is 8 3/4" diameter; the middle one is 9 3/4" diameter and the bottom one is 10" diameter. The top one has only one flat chip on the inside of the top rim (which is as hard to see as it was to photograph - see my best effort HERE).  **SOLD**
Psst - we have a water pitcher & a goblet to match them......

DAHLIA pattern is a product of the Co-Op Flint Glass Co. ca. 1885-6.

very small flake on the inside of the icing rim seen HERE.  $95
BUTTON BAND is very near the top of all patterns in both the
cake stand and this beautifully engraved cake basket with metal bail. 
It is 9 1/2" overall diameter including the outside rim. 
There are 2 chips on the flange that sticks up near the
handle seen HERE & HERE.

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.

MAINE aka Stippled Panelled Flower aka Stippled Primrose
was made by the U S Glass Co. to honor the State of Maine.
It is positively gorgeous in emerald green; 8 1/4" in diameter & 5" tall.

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.
With the icing lip, this clear one stands 4 3/4" tall and is $85.

REVERSE TORPEDO aka BULLSEYE & DIAMOND POINT
This would actually be more rightly called a doughnut stand with turned up sides & so it is a
little different from the cake stand in the pattern.
It appears to be a compote mold that was flattened out while it was still warm enough to be
malleable so the plate surface is a little irregular. 
The pattern was made by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton ca 1892.
It is 9 1/2" in diameter and 5 1/4" tall. $95



At about 10:00

ESTHER aka Tooth & Claw ( We prefer Esther) is a very famous
Riverside Glass Co. pattern made ca. 1896.  These are 10 1/2" diameter
genuine cake plates in the pattern. As shown in the center photo,
they sit up on three little 'stub feet a couple of inches off the table
instead of on a tall standard.  Mere photography cannot do
justice to the brilliance of these plates.

Beatty & Sons ca. 1890s! This one is 9 3/4" in diameter and 3 3/4" high.

in the 1870s - while the West was being settled just after the Civil War. It is 10” diam.;

It also ranks with one of the most difficult of all cake stands to photograph. $75


Third down in stack on the right. Page 60.

patterns in EAPG. The cake stand is 9 1/4" square and 7 1/2" tall. This is a heavy and impressive piece of glass. There is a tiny spot of roughness on one corner that did

On the bottom of the stack
on the right side of Page 60.
U S COIN aka SILVER AGE aka COIN aka FROSTED COIN
may be the premier pattern of Early American Pattern Glass.
The Central Glass Company, in a burst of merchandising creativity, decided to
'mint' a pattern with actual 1892 United States currency in the molds.
It took about 5 months for the Feds to find out about it and order the company
to destroy their molds. Fortunately they did not destroy all of the
dishes that had been made with them.**
The top of the U S Coin cake stand includes impressions of nine 1892 dated dollars
on the top, 5 obverse & 4 reverse. There are 6 quarters on the standard, 3 obverse & 3 reverse.
It is 10" in diameter & has an icing rim.**SOLD**
**Short version of a long story.

On the bottom of the stack pictured on the right side
of Page 60.
And here is an 11 1/2" diameter version of the Hobbs Hand Stand.  
This standard looks just like the 9" one except it is clear glass instead of frosted.
The white dot in the glass is a spot of undissolved sand.
It is totally inside the glass so definitely dates from the time of manufacture .
They were not big on quality control in the 1880s.  **SOLD**

What a beauty!  This is a very interesting pattern by Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton ca. 1880s. 
It is called by many names by collectors but we call it Cornucopia.  It is also called
Strawberry & Currant or 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 9 1/4" diameter and 6 3/4" tall.  $185


This is shown in blue in the magazine. The 2nd down on the left side of Page 58.
