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".
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.
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.
What was your first vintage buy?
Love, Liz
True to form - its the first day of the school
holidays here in Greenock and its raining!!!!

I haven't seen a cake stand in a square shape before that wasn't a modern stainless steel number, this is lovely! I can see why you're so attached! :-)

Hi Liz, it's nice to meet you! I love your pretty header on your blog. I've always wanted to go to Scotland. We went to Ireland several years ago and loved it.
Your cake stand is so pretty. I love to knit and crochet, too, but love crocheting more.

Wow that's gorgeous such plain and simple lines ~ Sarah x
What a very elegant piece, it's beautiful.
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
Such a wonderful shape. I bet you have found some wonderful treasure. From your newest follower, Linda
I do remember my first purchase, it was a blue crock bowl with roses on the inside of the bowl I still have it
I gave 10 cents for it at a yard sale out in the country where I lived in Symsonia Kentucky 1975
Wow, very cool cake stand. I love teh shape and glass.
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.

So unusual, very Modernist. You will need some pretty eccentric looking cakes if they are not to look plain compared!
