COLLECTING VINTAGE CAKE PLATES

While out antiquing last weekend, I had to slap my hands - it was terrible - yes I saw some lovely cake plates at great prices!  I resisted !




I love my glass vintage and antique cake plates and will even buy one with a chip if I feel it is really unique or a great price
 and/or special.





Not counting seasonal cake plates, 
I have 11 glass ones that I just 
use constantly.

Cake plates can be found at yard sales, antique malls, flea markets, etc.  I was enamored years ago when I saw how Martha Stewart stacked them up for her parties!  How about you, do you have any?

  3. Hello Bernideen
    I have 3 and will have to slap my own hand if it reaches for another. Yours are all so pretty and I've learned to enjoy the collections of others while keeping mine minimal.
    Thanks for hosting.

  5. Your cake plates are lovely, Bernideen! I especialy like the red one and the one with the apron. I have three footed glass cake plates but several without the stand. Thanks for hosting a lovely party and enjoy your weekend.

    Blessings,

  6. Wonderful cake plates! Yes, I have cake plates - two for Christmas (I use one of them into January), a Lady Anne by Gorham, and one I couldn't pass up in an antique shop!:-) Then, one without a pedestal is designed by Susan Branch, a favorite of mine! It is made by Lenox.

    I'm not sure about the linking up process. I certainly do like your blog, though!

  8. Bernideen, your collection of glass cake plates is wonderful. I have lots of cake plates, but only two of them are glass and both from my mom. One is small, perfect for a 6" cake and on a pedestal. The other is standard size, but rests on four small "feet". It's pink depression class. I often stack my cake plates. I'd love to add more of the vintage glass plates.

  15. I should have place the Tunnel of Lemon Bundt Cake on my grandmother's Depression glass cake stand for your post...maybe I can still slide it over and retake the photo:-)

  16. Yes, I have a few and just love each one. I know what you mean about adding more to the collection. Your collection is just beautiful. Tomorrow I am invited to a birthday brunch and though it is breakfast things we are to bring I can't resist bringing something sweet, chocolaty and displayed on a pedestal cake plate. Just because they are so pretty.

  17. A beautiful assortment of cake pedestals. I only have three. A clear glass one from my Mom, a white milk glass from a garage sale, and a green glass one I bought. I love your tablecloth, so sheer and delicate looking.
