Pink Milk Glass Candy Dish

I just love the pink milk glass of jeannette. It's so pale and delicate, the soft creamy pink can go with so many different things. With Easter coming up, I just squeal with the potential of everything I see in pastels.

I got this wonderful dish from the same place as the cake stand I sold last week. It has a tiny form of hobnail all over the surface, except for the flattened smooth corners. It originally came with a lid, but I'm sure that is long since broken. It also has a nice and simple leaf and acorn design on it, which I find to not be slapping me in the face, but rather adding a nice overall look to the dish.

Pink Milk Glass Cake Stand

Oh my Mom and I found a gorgeous cake stand the other day. We couldn't go two days without going back to buy it. It's such a soft creamy pale pink, and the top of the stand is so intricate! Not to mention the lovely bubble footed bottom.

I couldn't help but put my lovely MacBeth Evans pastel striped plates on the top to see how it looked. Oh I would love to have a dinner party and have the plates in the middle of the table on the cake stand.

Even though I love it (as I love everything I buy), I am selling this pink cake stand on my CreamyVintageEtsy shop, as I just don't have any room for it. Click the shop name to check it out.

UPDATE: It sold on March 13, 2011

Moderntone Platonite Saucers

I found these two saucers at a great antique store. The woman there has thousands of pieces of glass, if I'm in there for more than 5 minutes I start to get a panic attack. I'm scared I touch one thing and everything in the store will break. It's a serious concern every time I go there.

Anyway, she has loads at this store, the only thing is, it's not too close, then again none of my favorite places are. She has really great deals and knows everything about everything.

These two saucers are in such good condition! I love that they look like pottery but are in fact milk glass, you can see when you flip it over. And though they are saucers, they can still be used as small plates or put on display. I can see them used in a pale/pastel theme display, possibly for Easter, would that not be too cute? They would match the frosted tumblers I posted yesterday. Can you tell I'm all about the pastel shades, and Easter time?
