I think I bought this at a thrift shop – or at least this is the likeliest place.  I don’t know its provenance, but it looks like a Lancaster or Standard pattern.  I think it is a cake stand.  I like the detail on the stand.  Not my favourite, but I respect the workmanship.    The trouble with these places is the storage need.  I make a cake, maybe every two years.  In between I have to find a safe, large space to store the piece.  It may adorn another table in the not too distant future.  I’m always looking to free up space for new acquisitions!
