Wedgwood Wonderlust 2 Tiered Cake Stand

Designed to complement the current range of tea ware, the Wonderlust Blue Pagoda 2-Tier Cake Stand is beautifully crafted from Wedgwood fine bone china, featuring two sizes of plates, one white based the other blue, both decorated with the distinctive pagoda pattern and united by a gilded post with contemporary round handle. Pagodas were originally designed to house and protect relics and sacred writings in India although their design spread across Asia with the increased following of Buddhism, reaching Japan in the 6th Century. The charming Wonderlust Blue Pagoda pattern also features a typical Japanese Acer garden, a delicate plant considered a symbol of peace, serenity and harmony. Presented in a signature blue Wedgwood box, this cake stand makes a wonderful gift and a striking centrepiece to enjoy that most traditional of English pastimes, teatime with cakes and sandwiches.Take a journey around the world with the Wonderlust collection, an eclectic mix of treasured gifts and innovative tea blends with extraordinary new flavours...all inspired by the wonders of travelling from Europe through Asia.
