Shelley, a pottery manufacturer with enthusiastic collectors worldwide, closed in 1966, making its pieces increasingly rare. This is a Rambler Rose Dainty cake stand featuring large pink roses. The trim is gold gilt, and Rambler Roses are also depicted on the foot. This item is gorgeous and has a strong presence. Rambler Rose pieces themselves are not widely available, and a cake stand is an exceptionally rare find. If you're looking for one, don't miss this opportunity! The condition is glossy and beautiful. There are some minor scuff marks visible when the center of the plate is held at an angle to the light (see photo 9). The gold gilt is in good condition. Upon close inspection, there are a few tiny scuff marks, but they are barely noticeable. The foot and the underside of the plate are shiny and gleaming (photos 11-14). Additionally, there are age-related characteristics such as pinholes, color variations, small black dots, ink spots, and air bubbles in the fabric, which are typical of the manufacturing process. Please consider this item only if you understand antique and vintage items. Those seeking perfect quality or who are overly sensitive should refrain from purchasing. Shelley has been closed for 57 years, and these items are rare, only existing in their current form. Please refrain from offers for discounts other than the combined shipping fee. I will not respond to discount offers. Thank you for your understanding. ● Size * Plate Diameter: 22.5cm * Base Diameter: 12.8cm * Height: 9.5cm
