Cake Stand
Handmade stoneware cake stand with an off-white glaze. The unglazed rim and base provide a simple and rustic contrast between the smoothness of the surface and the texture of the buff stoneware clay.
The handmade process
The cake stand is initially made in two parts, the plate and the stand. Both are thrown by hand on the wheel. Prior to fully drying the two parts are joined together. Once joined it is left to dry.
Once the cake stand is bone dry it is then fired in the kiln to 980 degrees centigrade (the bisque fire) which dries and strengthens it sufficiently for it to be glazed. The top is then spray glazed in an off-white glaze before it is fired again, but this time to 1220 degrees centigrade.
Each cake stand takes approximately 3 weeks to make from start to finish.
Each one is individually crafted so no two are exactly alike (meaning the one you receive will differ ever so slightly from the one pictured)
Approximate dimensions:
Diameter: 230mm x Height: 150mm
Made using lead free, dinnerware safe glazes.
While dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended to preserve the life of you handcrafted piece.
