VTG 3 Tier Pressed Glass Serving Tray Petal Scalloped Plates Gold Stand 14"
This vintage three-tier serving tray features clear pressed glass plates with scalloped, floral-inspired edges, paired with bright gold-tone metal hardware. The tiered construction provides an elegant and practical way to serve desserts, pastries, hors d’oeuvres, or tea accompaniments, while also functioning as a decorative centerpiece for dining tables, buffets, or special occasions.
Design elements such as the petal-edged pressed glass and polished metal posts reflect entertaining styles popular from the Mid-Century through the Late 20th Century. The clear glass catches and reflects light, while the structured gold-tone handle and supports offer stability and ease of carrying. The overall form balances decorative appeal with everyday usability, making it suitable for both display and functional serving.
Attribution Note:
Similar examples are sometimes attributed online to Federal Glass or Lou Glazer; however, those attributions are not supported here. Lou Glazer is best known as a Mid-Century designer and importer associated with Italian and Murano-style glass, metal décor, lamps, and sculptural objects rather than mass-produced pressed glass serving trays. Federal Glass Company primarily produced identifiable pressed glass patterns—such as Sharon, Madrid, and Georgian—often marked or pattern-specific, and did not typically manufacture assembled metal-and-glass tiered servers. For accuracy, this piece is listed as Unmarked.
This serving tray appeals to collectors of vintage glassware, Mid-Century entertaining pieces, and classic table décor, offering both visual charm and practical versatility.
