Porcelain Pedestal Cake Stand by Belle Monez – 1963 Gilded Floral Design
About this item
This porcelain pedestal cake stand brings a warm, mid‑century elegance to tabletops with its scalloped edges, yellow floral motif, and softly gleaming gold accents.
Created in 1963 by artist Belle Monez, this stand pairs a wide, scalloped platter with a flared pedestal base, each finished with a hand‑applied gilded rim that highlights the molded contours. Mid‑century porcelain artists frequently incorporated raised scalloping and gold detailing to elevate everyday serveware into decorative display pieces, a tradition reflected beautifully in this design. The yellow flower motif at the center adds a gentle, sunlit note that complements the stand’s sculptural silhouette, making it equally suited for serving or styled display.
Dimensions are 11" diameter x 4" tall.
Condition note: Due to the age of this vintage piece, there is some crazing but does not take away from the beauty or usefulness.
