CAKE STANDS
Cake stands were introduced to the Blue Jelly Moon range, as occasionally I did not have the heart to break up beautiful unblemished china. I was in search of a way to help bring these beautiful items back into prominent display and into the modern world. After enjoying a visit to a friend's tea shop and having taken some of my mosaics, I was asked if I could make cake stands. It wasn't something I had considered, so did some research, bought a ceramic drill bit, borrowed my husband's drill and a few broken plates later, a stock of cake stands were ready.
My all time favourites are the ones made from a side plate, saucer and cup. This cute combination has a variety of uses from a centre piece for any afternoon tea table to holding nicnaks on your dressing table. What a unique and different present!
The very English tradition of afternoon tea, seems to be currently enjoying a revival and many of my beautiful cake stands are regularly in use in several local tea rooms, as well as much further a field.
Most stands are made to order depending on style and stock availability. However there are occasionally stands available for sale and these are identified below with either a price and/or details if there are several available within the set. However, please contact us if you have some china you would like making into stands or have a particular requirement.
Commissions
Sometimes I am lucky enough to rescue a whole or part china set, rather than just individual pieces. If you are unable to see what you are looking for in the Cake Stand Store below, please contact me to see if we can create together something that fulfils your vision. Are you holding onto a precious china set of your own, which is not being displayed in all it's former glory? Do you think your set would enjoy becoming part of the English traditional Afternoon Tea revival? If yes, please see the store below for inspiration and then contact me so we can discuss how to bring your precious set back to life. If not, then maybe you would like to look at the Mosaic Store for other inspiration.
"I had a Japanese tea set in a box in my garage for years. It was a family heirloom. I met Pat at Denby Pottery Xmas Fayre last year and loved the things she made. At the Spring Fayre this year I took the tea set and Pat has made it into trinket stands for the girls in the family. I am thrilled with them and so are the girls! So nice for them to have something that had belonged to great grandparents (perhaps even older than that too)"
Thank you, Pat - Susan D
