Mosser Glass White Milk Glass Cake Stand
The Mosser Glass cake stand in milk white is a stylish way to display cakes, cupcakes and pastries. The soft white colour and neutral design are at home in all settings – vintage or modern, rural or urban. Each stand is one piece of glass – not a plate and stem stuck together – so you can be confident that your cake stand will last for years to come.
The milk white glass cake stands are available in 3 sizes:
- 6” (15cm)
- 10” (25cm)
- 12” (30cm)
For the ultimate cake display, pair your cake stand with a Mosser Glass cake dome.
Milk glass, also known as opal glass, was first invented by Venetian glass makers in the 16th century. They were able to make milk glass in a variety of colours, and popularly used it to make dinnerware, lamps and vases. Items made from milk glass were especially popular during the decadent period of fin de siècle, or ‘turn of the century’, as the 19th century made way for the 20th.
Mosser Glass are a family owned and run company from Ohio. They’ve been hand-pressing high-quality glassware since 1971. Their collection evokes a vintage feel with coloured milk glass and intricate moulded designs. Sturdy enough to see service every day, Mosser Glass pieces are designed to be used and loved for generations.
The coloured glass is made by mixing pigments with soda ash and silica sand. Once melted, the molten glass is hand-poured into cast iron moulds. When released from the moulds, air is blown over the new piece of glassware to help it cool. Then the glass is quickly rotated while it’s sanded, polished and fired to give a glossy finish all over. This manufacturing process can cause ‘stripes’ in the pigmentation of the glass, and makes every piece of Mosser Glass unique.
Care instructions
Clean your Mosser Glass cake stand with mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. If cleaning in the dishwasher, make sure it will not rattle against other items. Avoid strong shocks of any kind – thermal or physical – as these can cause weak points in the glass. Do not stack cake stands in storage.
