Pretty Vintage Cake Plate
This is one of the first vintage items I ever bought - many,
many years ago! Of course it wasn't
called vintage then - just "old fashioned".
I love the shape of it.
It has some strange markings on one of the metal parts - have no idea
what it means - maker's mark perhaps? Surprised
that I haven't blogged about it before - I suppose I've had it so long that its
always been there.
Love, Liz
Its a lovely square art deco-ish cake stand with bakelite handle
and two etched glass plates. I really
should have baked some cakes to make it look better in the photographs.
What was your first vintage buy?
True to form - its the first day of the school
holidays here in Greenock and its raining!!!!

Your cake stand is so pretty. I love to knit and crochet, too, but love crocheting more.

Btw, I loved the illustrations in your last two posts (just catching up).
First vintage buy? Heavens, can't recall - probably some 1950s clothing when I was a teenage student. Wish I still had those cocktail dresses, but sadly they are long gone... xxx
I gave 10 cents for it at a yard sale out in the country where I lived in Symsonia Kentucky 1975
The first vintage item I remember buying was an unusual teapot.I had just started college. I remember I was with my grandma, so it was long long ago. I had to be about 18-19 or younger. We were at a big flea market. It was an Italian Vietri teapot. Yellow with a ram. Then, in my forties, in the town I now live, I found a big plate/platter that matched.
