FAQs

What is the total height of the stand?

The total height of the assembled cakestand is 34.5cm.

Can I put this in the dishwasher?

No, this piece should be hand-washed to maintain the integrity of the fine china and the archival patterns.

Is the metal hardware rust-resistant?

The metal fittings are designed for indoor table use; keep the stand dry and wipe it immediately if it comes into contact with liquids to prevent oxidation.

What is the diameter of the largest plate?

The largest plate at the base of the stand measures 26.5cm in diameter.

Does this require tools for assembly?

No tools are typically required for assembly; it is designed for manual hand-tightening.

Troubleshooting

Wobbly tiers after assembly

Ensure the central metal rod is fully tightened and that the protective washers are correctly positioned between the ceramic and the metal hardware.

Surface marks or fingerprints on the blue pattern

Wipe with a soft, lint-free microfiber cloth and a drop of mild dish detergent; avoid vigorous scrubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant and timeless archival design
  • Excellent for showcasing pastries or savory appetizers
  • Compact height fits standard dining tables comfortably
  • Adds a professional touch to afternoon tea service

Cons

  • Requires manual assembly of the metal tiers
  • Fragile material necessitates careful storage
  • Hand-wash only to preserve the intricate finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly involves aligning the ceramic plates with the central metal rod and securing them with the provided hardware. Always tighten the nuts by hand to avoid cracking the fine china. For care, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or harsh cleaning agents, as these can dull the blue pattern over time. The stand should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water immediately after use. When not in use, disassemble the stand and store it with protective padding between the ceramic plates to prevent chips or surface scratches.
