Cake Stands i.d.
« on: August 12, 2011, 07:56:12 PM »
Hi all

Two cake stands, one pressed glass the other uranium glass? I am guessing circa the 50s and made up north perhaps.
Anyone care to comment?

Regards
Malc

You should create a thread for each item please, other wise it gets confusing. They're both pressed glass but I very much doubt that the amber one is uranium.

We also need dimensions and profile shots and what the base rims are like.

Neither of them look familiar to me though.

Please excuse my over exuberance with the two in one posting. If i could concentrate on the clear glass piece first which measures 235mm diameter by 105 tall (or thereabouts) and the base looks like this;







Once again many thanks for your time

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
