Simply divine in pastel blue with floral details on each tier, this 4-tiered vintage china tea stand is fit for a wedding cake table, birthday desserts, a shower centerpiece, birthday party or British high tea with well-heeled guests. Bring out your macarons and other best desserts!
A quartet of artistically mismatched china plates seem straight from Grandmother's china cabinet to the shelves of Anthropologie. Pale blues and sky blues stack up harmoiniously in a porcelain tower to behold. This grand, exceptionally tall yet sturdy cupcake stand makes an equally breathtaking jewelry stand in the boudoir... as you can see!
Expect it to turn heads as a gorgeous, Victorian-inspired centerpiece of any happy occasion. Even prettier in person no matter which room it graces.
At a full 19" high, fine vintage collector's pieces make up its 4 striking tiers. Just add desserts or favors, tea treats, birthday cookies, candy or anything at all.
Old-fashioned charm meets modern entertaining in this hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind display. Assemble it with just two or three tiers for a more practical, everyday sized serving piece. Each plate is a work of art; I ensure you'll love using & admiring it for years to come!

Beautiful to admire, a pleasure to use...
This is one-of-a-kind High Tea for Alice stand:
No. 241, Alice Stays in a Blue Victorian
Alice's Aunt lived in a cupcake of a pink Victorian house, but Alice had never stayed in a blue one. Driving out through the country one spring weekend, she spied one up on a hill. Outside a sign read: "Tillie's Inn, a Bed & Breakfast, open for tea." Mother did not want to stop but Auntie insisted they stay. Thank goodness Autnie was so presuasive! Alice hopped up the stairs to the long white porch, elated...
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 carefully drilled by hand, outfitted with new hardware made in the U.K. & beautifully packaged for you or your gift recipient. (We are happy to enclose a card with your message--just let us know at checkout.)
About High Tea for Alice: Far from rummage sale cast-offs, the pieces in our stands are individually scouted & represent rare and lovely pieces through the eras. It takes months to find just the right pieces for one stand, but we believe there's still majesty in presentation.
{{100% vintage collectible china in excellent condition. No chips or cracks, see note below.}}
