GORGEOUS VINTAGE MOON & STAR 2-PC. AMBER CAKE STAND*

Description

FOR YOUR VIEWING ENJOYMENT
IS THIS FABULOUS AMBER 2 PC. CAKE STAND. I WOULD LOVE TO TELL YOU FOR SURE THAT IT WAS MADE BY L.E. SMITH AND I DO THINK THAT IT WAS, BUT THERE IS MUCH CONFUSION ABOUT THE MOON & STAR PATTERN AND THERE ARE NO MAKER'S MARKS ON EITHER PIECE. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS ALSO CONSISTENT WITH SOME L.E. SMITH PIECES.
CONDITION: ON THE PLATE THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES---I ASSUME FROM CUTTING A CAKE. ON THE OVERHANG OF THE PLATE ARE 2 SMALL CHIPS WHICH ARE NOT VISIBLE AND NOT SHARP OR LARGE. YOU HAVE TO FEEL FOR THEM. AT THE VERY BOTTOM OF THE PEDESTAL PIECE THERE IS A SMALL CHIP ON THE INSIDE---NOT VISIBLE FROM THE OUTSIDE. NONE OF THESE FLAWS DETRACT FROM THE BEAUTY.
THE TOTAL HEIGHT IS 6 AND 3/4" AND THE PLATE IS 11" IN DIAMETER.
THIS HAS BEEN IN MY FAMILY SINCE AT LEAST THE 1960'S. THERE USED TO BE A RUBBER GASKET TO PUT OVER THE PART THAT FITS DOWN INTO THE PEDESTAL AND UNLESS IT'S GOING TO BE SITTING IN A CHINA CLOSET, I WOULD RECOMMEND PUTTING SOMETHING IN THERE SO YOU COULD SAFELY CUT A CAKE ON IT. I HAVE USED THIS ON MANY HOLIDAYS---CAKES, COOKIES, DESSERT BARS. IT IS TRULY A BREATHTAKING PIECE. YOU ARE PROBABLY HUNGRY NOW, SO I WILL SAY---
HAPPY BIDDING!
