A crystal-clear circular platform rests above a spiral base formed from a continuous loop of Lucite, creating the illusion that the serving surface is almost floating above the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDisplaying cakes, pies, pastries, and desserts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreating an elevated serving presentation for entertaining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsing as a decorative pedestal or tabletop riser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollectors of Dorothy Thorpe style and Mid Century Modern design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle It With:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePair this vintage lucite cake stand with pieces from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/debrahalllifestyle.com\/collections\/vintage-flatware-antique-tableware\"\u003eVintage Flatware \u0026amp; Tableware\u003c\/a\u003e collection and complement it with entertaining pieces from our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/debrahalllifestyle.com\/collections\/vintage-bar-decor-antique-barware-ice-buckets-bar-trays\"\u003eVintage Bar Decor\u003c\/a\u003e collection for a table that feels elegant, collected, and unexpected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003evintage lucite cake stand\u003c\/strong\u003e dates to the 1960s and is attributed to Dorothy Thorpe. Thorpe is particularly associated with glamorous midcentury entertaining pieces that combined clean modernist forms with materials such as glass and acrylic. While there is no visible maker's mark, its sculptural Lucite construction and spiral form are consistent with pieces attributed to her work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's the spiral base that really makes this piece special. The thick, clear Lucite curves into one beautiful continuous loop beneath the top, almost making the cake stand appear to float above the table. It's such a simple design, but incredibly striking, especially when the light catches the Lucite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd as beautiful as it is, it's also wonderfully useful. The 11.25\" top is a great size for a cake, tart, pastries, or appetizers when entertaining. We also love the idea of using it as a riser on a table or kitchen island with a favorite bowl or collected object on top. It's one of those pieces you don't have to put away when the party is over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat we especially love is mixing something this sleek and midcentury with pieces that have a little more age and patina. Put it alongside antique silver, white ironstone, handmade pottery, or vintage glass and suddenly everything feels a little more interesting. It has enough presence to stand on its own, but it's simple enough to work beautifully with so many different styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e clear Lucite\/acrylic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States; attributed to Dorothy Thorpe, unmarked\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.25\" Dia. x 4.75\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e vintage; wear consistent with age and use; very light visible surface scratches and minor age-related imperfections to the Lucite present (see photos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUse:\u003c\/strong\u003e cake stand, dessert stand, pastry stand, serving pedestal, centerpiece riser, or decorative display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSourcing:\u003c\/strong\u003e hand selected for its beauty, sculptural design, and rarity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesign Notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e striking clear Lucite cake stand with a sculptural spiral pedestal formed from a continuous loop, creating the optical lightness and minimalist glamour associated with iconic midcentury acrylic design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly one available.
