Hi everyone! Join me at two parties today. One party is at Coloradolaby for Vintage Thingie Thursday. And the other is Things I Love Thursday at The Diaper Diaries.
During one of my thrifting adventures at an antique mall, I came across this little treasure. And the awesome and amazing part was the price! Sometimes you can really find a wonderful surprise at an antique mall that fits your budget. And this one fit mine and therefore, came home with me!
It is an Anchor Hocking Depression glass cake stand.
Do you see that price tag?
$3.00! Can you believe that? I can't even buy a cheapo cake stand any where for $3.00 let alone a pretty depression glass one! I was doing little giddy happy dances all over the place when I found it!
I did some research on it and found a little bit of information. It was made in the late 1930's and is an Ivory White Cake Plate by Anchor Glass/22K Gold. It has an awesome extra feature, the cake plate is designed to cut equal pieces. There are grooves cut out to guide you when you cut the cake.
The average price I am seeing on this piece online is $36.00.
With the exception that I need to clean it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this pretty cake stand.
I am so thrilled to find this treasure! I just love it!

Oh Diann, it's just gorgeous, and great grief..the price is almost giveaway. I'm so happy you found it and are giving it a good home. Happy VTT...have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteI bet you were happy dancing! That is a beautiful cake plate and what a great price! WOW! It is lovely and I didn't know that about the lines for cutting equal pieces. Clever!
ReplyDeleteI love it! You had me at your post title--all qualities of something that makes me happy too! When should I come back for a cake?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great steal!! I like cake stands too.
ReplyDeleteLOL P! Hey, I am having a blog party! And what is a party without cake? I gotta have a pretty cake stand to use now don't I? :)
ReplyDeleteWoo-hoo! Pretty and affordable! What's not to love.
ReplyDeleteThat cake stand is amazing!! I love the cake slice feature! I've never seen that before.. A unique find, especially for $3! I love it. :)

That cake plate is great with the slicing grooves.I have never seen that before. You got a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet that cake plate has a cake on it pretty pronto. What a find....with the groovey groves and all....altho they didn't say groovey in the 30's. I have depression glass on my VTT post today, too. It's green...I'm thinkin March too....Sue
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Even though I find most of my best buys at the thrift stores, I can still find some pretty good deals at the antique malls. Your cake plate is one of those buys. I would have snagged that plate too!
ReplyDeleteJane
What a find! That's the kind I like to find also, inexpensive but not cheap!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than finding a beautiful vintage piece that somehow involves cake! Yum.
ReplyDeleteYour cake stand is beautiful and the price was right too. What a steal of a deal. I'm sure cake will taste so much better off that fancy cake stand.
ReplyDeleteHi Dianne,

ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! What a lucky find.
ReplyDeleteWarm blessings,
Spencer
