Midcentury Dorothy Thorpe Cake Stand | Sterling Silver Band Glass

Dorothy Thorpe Sterling Banded Glass Cake Stand | 1950s brings one of the most recognizable looks of midcentury entertaining to the table. With its broad 13-inch clear glass top, low pedestal base, and beautifully simple sterling silver banding, this vintage cake stand has the clean, glamorous look associated with Dorothy Thorpe's silver-banded glassware. We love that it can elevate a cake or pastries for entertaining and then live beautifully on a table or counter as a sculptural riser between gatherings.

  • Materials: clear glass with sterling silver overlay/banding
  • Origin: USA
  • Designer: Dorothy Thorpe
  • Era: 1950s
  • Dimensions: 13" Dia x 4" H; 5.5" Dia base
  • Condition: vintage; excellent condition with wear consistent with age and use; light patina and imperfections present (see photos); no chips or cracks noted
  • Use: cake stand, pastry stand, dessert server, or decorative riser
  • Sourcing: hand selected
  • Design Notes: classic midcentury modern profile with clear glass, low pedestal base, and distinctive silver banding

We especially love the scale of this one. At 13 inches across, it has enough presence to make even a simple cake feel special, yet the clear glass keeps it visually light. We would also use it as a riser on a buffet or kitchen counter when it isn't being used for serving. It is timeless midcentury design that mixes surprisingly well with older silver, pottery, and collected tableware.
