Pink Depression Glass Cake Stand

This is a vintage pink Depression glass cake stand, characterized by its delicate rose-pink hue and pressed glass construction. The stand features a flat, circular top plate with a decorative hobnail or bead-like rim, adding texture and visual interest to the edge. The surface of the plate appears to have a raised, molded pattern, although the specific design is not entirely clear from the provided image; it seems to feature some geometric or perhaps floral elements in relief. The stand is supported by a central, fluted pedestal base, which is also made of the same pink Depression glass and flares out slightly at the bottom for stability. The overall size appears to be suitable for holding an average-sized cake or a selection of pastries. The glass itself exhibits the typical characteristics of Depression-era glass, often showing minor imperfections such as mold lines, bubbles, or straw marks, which are inherent to the manufacturing process of that period and not considered damage. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the image, suggesting it is in good, used vintage condition. The color is consistent throughout the piece. This type of cake stand was popular in the early to mid-20th century, likely dating from the 1920s to the 1940s. Its quality indicates it was mass-produced but still designed with decorative intent, making it a charming and functional piece of kitchenware or collectibles.
