This is a one-of-a-kind High Tea for Alice stand:
No. 12, Alice Dresses Up in Gold
Of all the dresses in her wardrobe, Alice liked the gold one best. "Why save it for a ball?" Alice reasoned. "I can wear it anywhere at all..."
And she most certainly did.
~*~ Our stands were featured on Preston Bailey's Entertaining blog. ~*~
High Tea for Alice one-of-a-kind cake stands invite you to add a little vintage china to your life. Each European-born dish is painstakingly drilled by hand. We outfit each with new, gold-tone hardware made in the U.K.
We believe there's still majesty in presentation.
About High Tea for Alice: Far from rummage sale cast-offs, the pieces in our stands are individually scouted. None have chips, cracks, or crazing. Some are gently used vintage; all are immaculately lovely. It takes months to find just the right pieces for 1 stand. We will never duplicate your combination.
* Top Tier: Vintage Royal Chelsea fine bone china footed teacup & saucer with rich gold leaves & pink cabbage roses from England, 6"

{{Yes, you can use with just 2 tiers for a mini stand. It's like having many stands in 1.}}
* Please note: "Love scuffs" (very tiny nicks) are an occasional though normal part our handmade process *only* around the plate's hole. These are not seen when assembled.
We are thrilled to recreate the long-standing tradition of high tea stands by hand here in the U.S.A.
