Blue and white vintage English high quality ironstone floral pattern exquisite three tier handmade cake stand matching various blue shades of vintage Burleigh branded china large plates, combined into true masterpiece creation to add true and striking touch of style to your tea party, afternoon tea gathering with family and friends, party on any humble or significant occasion... especially if blue and white china is something you are passionate about as I am.

This particular cake stand design is a result of customised order, which has been approved by the customer who liked it so much that he decided to have another fourth tier added to it, which ended up with another listing, which I shall add to my wide range of handmade tiered cake stands shortly and add listing's link to this description.

Four tier cake stand has been listed and could be found via this separate listing link:

My previous work was normally based on using matching pattern by the same brand and maker by choosing three different sized plates and combining them in traditional three tier cake stand. This cake stand attempt was sort of an experiment based on customers idea and desire to have mismatched large size plates connected by floral pattern and different shades of blue and white vintage high quality English made bone china and ironstone.
I must admit I've liked the final result so much myself that I will experiment more with the idea in a future. Great communication with a customer and understanding clearly the desire and demand, customer's own vision of the final product has contributed mutually a lot to the creative process of my own and I am quite thankful to have such customers who could influence my own creative thinking and contribute a lot to it in a best way possible.

Plates used for this creation are dominated by Blue Calico pattern (in this case Burleigh Blue Calico pattern by Staffordshire Potteries is being used as a first tier) with added Arden ironstone floral pattern plate by the same Burleigh brand (mage in Staffordshire, England once again) and topped up by Dark Blue & White Calico Burleigh Floral scalloped edge desert plate as a top tier to match the firs tier and lock in slightly brighter Arden mmedium tier. Combination looks great and you could be judge of it yourself by referring to the images supporting this listing including images of china backstamps. Plates used for this design are 50-60s of the last century made and in great intact condition.

Burleigh has been crafting high-quality ceramics in England since 1851, they are the last pottery in the world to use the traditional and timeless skill of underglaze tissue transfer printing that is meticulously applied by hand, so giving each piece a unique and beautiful finish.

Dimensions of the cake stand as follow:

Bottom tier (large dinner plate) is 10 1/2" (26 cm in diameter)
Middle tier (standard sized dinner plate) - 9 1/2" (24 cm in diameter)
Top tier (scalloped edge large desert plate) 7 1/4" (just about 18 cm)

Cake stand is just about 14" tall (approximately 35 cm)
The entire weight (heavy large ironstone plates contribute to the weight) is just over 2.2 kg without any packaging materials.
