Beautiful to admire, a pleasure to use...
This is a one-of-a-kind High Tea for Alice stand:
No. 26, Sleeps in the Sunshine
~*~ Our stands were featured on Preston Bailey's Entertaining blog. ~*~
Not a girl who needed a nap necessarily, but not a girl to turn down the opportunity either, Alice eyed the sunlight streaming through the diamond-shaped windows on the front door and pouring onto the foyer's settee. "Well, maybe just for a few moments," she yawned...
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. A striking centerpiece & instant heirloom. Pretty for wedding dessert bars, too.
{{{Use just two tiers for a mini stand. It's like having many stands all in one.}}}
We believe there's still majesty in presentation.
* Top: Vintage Paragon fine bone china cup & saucer in pale yellow with pink roses & gold detail from England, 5 1/2"
* Middle: Vintage Paragon fine bone china raised edge luncheon plate with rose & floral center & thick gold rim from England, 8 1/4"
* Bottom: Vintage Old Foley James Kent Ltd Staffordshire heavy china cake plate with bright rose & flowers center & upturned rim from England, 10 1/4"
* Full height: about 15"
* Bottom plate shows light utensil marks and small color smudges from original manufacturing. Neither are at all noticeable but we do like to mention them for collectors.
~*~ Use as a boudoir jewelry stand or for beauty essentials on the vanity. * Mix & match pieces from several stands to create new designs. ~*~
About High Tea for Alice: Far from rummage sale cast-offs, the highly collectible 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.
Includes care instructions & assembly tips.
~ Quick & easy to disassemble (but too beautiful to do so) ~
~ Stores conveniently away (but so useful you won't need to) ~
* Please note: "Love scuffs" (very tiny nicks) are an occasional but 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 here in the U.S.
