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, HERE. Read about EAPG cake stands HERE. To learn what EAPG means, click 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. |

| POST aka Adams #75 aka Square Panes gracefully combines the round & square design elements to create an extraordinary piece of art. Adams & Co. created it ca. 1882. There are a few nics here & there as there is going to be on any piece of glass with so many angles. See them HERE & HERE and some roughness HERE & HERE. And HERE is a close up of the base. It is 9 1/2" in diameter & 7 1/2" tall. The Standard is open at the bottom so a spray of flowers can be inserted! $95 |

| GARDEN OF EDEN aka RUSTIC (OMN) aka Lotus with Serpent is one of pattern glass naturalistic interpretative works of the glass maker's art. Look at the tree stump sticking out the side of the standard. See the pattern's goblets HERE; the rarest ones have a serpent's head sticking out the stem. This smaller 8 1/2" diameter size is unreported in the literature. Made by Campbell Jones Glass Co. ca. 1880. $105 |

|
| 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 Holiday. $225 |
|
 |
 |
|

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 still have a water pitcher & a goblet to match them...... |

There are 2 chips on the flange that sticks up near the handle seen HERE & HERE. A better photo of the leaf & berry engraving is shown HERE.

|
 |
 |
|
|
| 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. |

| This is a 10" cake stand in the pretty, but VERY difficult to photograph WHEAT & BARLEY aka DUQUESNE pattern.

||
| 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 on the circle on Page 59. |

|
||
| 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. $295 |
||
 |
 |
 |
|
||
| 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. $165 |
||
 |
Here is the 'Big Brother' of the CORNUCOPIA cake stand above. This one has figs and grapes on the top and it is a larger 10 1/2" diameter & it is 7" tall. $195 Stack these 2 & you've got a show stopper! |
