* Bonus... This discounted stand is offered at our 2-tier price but includes a 3rd tier that has a small stress fracture in its saucer, which is why it is NOT included as part of the cost. You can see the saucer's stress crack near the center hole in the collage photo. It remains very pretty, of course, & can still be assembled as a third tier with the other 2 pieces. Please be careful--it is a bit more fragile this way. : )
Beautiful to admire, a pleasure to use...
This is a one-of-a-kind High Tea for Alice stand:
No. 11, Alice Meets 3 Little Birds
{Use for jewelry or perfume & potions on the vanity, too!}
Includes signature removable topper, handcrafted of white feathers & a glitzy little vintage clip earring. It makes an incredible centerpiece for special occasions or every day. We believe there's still majesty in presentation...
~*~~*~ Yes! You can use just the top 2 tiers or just the bottom 2 tiers for smaller gatherings as a 2-tier stand. So, it's like having 3 stands in 1.~~*~*~
{Mix & match pieces from several stands for new looks...}
Far from rummage sale cast-offs, the pieces in our stands are individually scouted & selected. None have chips, cracks, or crazing. Some are in very gently used vintage condition; all are immaculately lovely. It takes months to find just the right pieces for one stand.
* Top Tier: Unknown maker fine bone china footed teacup & saucer with crown stamp on bottom; blue bud flowers & gold branches & leaves from England, 6 1/4" (fill with candy, nuts or flowers)
* Middle Tier: Vintage salad/luncheon plate with three yellow-breasted bluebirds, pale blue border & gold edge by Haviland from France, 6 3/4"
* Bottom Tier: Johnson Brothers semi-porcelain (not china) scalloped & embossed edge dinner plate with sprays of green grass and blue daisies from England, 8 3/4"
* Full height: 14"
* Notes: Some scratching & utensil marks from use to dinner plate. Does not detract from its pretty design.
* Please note: "Love scuffs" or tiny nicks are a normal part our handmade process *only* around the hole of our plates, as these little works of art are are drilled by hand, not machine. These are not seen when assembled.
Quick & easy to disassemble (but too beautiful to do so). Stores conveniently away (but so useful you won't need to). Includes care instructions booklet & assembly tips.
We will never duplicate your cake stand combination again. Each remains one-of-a-kind always. We are thrilled to recreate the long-standing tradition of high tea stands by hand here in the U.S.A.
