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. You can click those little magazines to see what it looks like on their page. |

| This may be the only offer of a stack of colored cake stands in graduated 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...... |

| This is a bargain hunters delight. There are very few allover frosted and also very few PILLOW ENCIRCLED aka MIDWAY cake stands.

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** |

| 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. $550 **Short version of a long story. |

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.

| 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** |
