    Found a very nice old cake stand that looks like Tree of Life with Hand only the pedestal and the plate are a little different. Also looked at Hand and Bar but can't find any documentation for a cake stand. Let me show the photos:

    There are a few shown (3) on Worthpoint but they all say maker Unknown. This cake stand is definitely old (it glows yellow under UV). Also, it looks like a wafer connection between the pedestal and the plate.

    It measures 7 1/2" H and 10" OD. Any ideas on the pattern name and maker?

    Thanks!

    Could this pattern be HAND by O'Hara Glass Co.? The center post that the hand is grasping looks like the stem on a Hand goblet as shown in Metz, Early American Pattern Glass.

    Ok, so why does it bother me that the examples of Atterbury's Hand stem cake stand in milk glass is so very different from this one?

    Hi Don! I was hoping you'd come by. EAPG implies American Glass. I thought Atterbury was an English company.

    yes, it is different from their milk glass version (tho' the hand pose is very similar), but still Atterbury

    Great! Thanks for that info! This cake stand is so nice and I love the amber stem. I would love to have one in Milk glass. Will have to look around. Thanks again!

    Your granddaughter really knows how to pick the dessert! That blueberry cheesecake looks so good! The milk glass Hand cake stand seems to have a nicer hand than the amber version. The Fingers are more slender and human like, LOL. Or maybe it's just that they show up better.
