Here she is sitting on my stove, along with my ironstone cow milk pitcher ($1.99 Goodwill find) and my vintage ironstone kitchen canisters (also Goodwill finds from a few years ago). I threw in a large blue vintage mason jar and some hydrangeas that are starting to dry (yay!).
I have to admit my family didn't quite feel my excitement about the whole thing. That is, until I used it for this.
Now they're just as happy as I am {insert smiles here}.
Isn't she beautiful? The bottom plate is made of very heavy, ornate, leaded glass. I just love her. I did a little research and found similar vintage cake carriers going for $38.00 on ebay.
I also love how you can see the reflection of the hydrangeas in the lid. The white clay tag (with a bee on it) that's hanging on the vintage ball jar is one that I made myself.
If you're interested, you can see my easy, DIY clay tag tutorial here.
I was also thrilled with my ironstone cow milk pitcher. Isn't he cute?
In all honesty I have to say that I already enjoy baking, but this beauty inspires me to bake even more!
Brownies, anyone?
Keep cool and have a great week!

Wow - you did get a nice deal!! If they don't show interest, just remind them it keeps bugs, etc. off their treats. :-D

love the cake containers. your clay tags are really great looking too.
I have had several of these and usually paint them but your cake carrier is so shinny and cool...I wouldn't want to paint it! Lucky you!
This is definitely a treasure. I love it. I have a vintage one, but nothing as lovely as yours. Gorgeous. I would love for you to link up to my Inspire Me party that is ongoing. http://www.astrollthrulife.net/2013/07/174th-inspire-me-tuesday.html
