Description
Elegant Anchor Hocking 'Presence' pattern cake pedestal. Features a flat-surface cake plate with a slight lip and a tall, vertically ribbed (fluted) glass dome with a ball-style handle. Perfect for displaying cakes, pastries, or seasonal decor.
Key Features
Timeless fluted design; heavy weight gives it a premium feel; dual-function (many users flip the base to use as a punch bowl or crudite platter).
Authenticity Indicators
Typically unmarked on the glass; identified by the specific 'Presence' ribbing pattern and the smooth ball finial. High confidence based on classic Anchor Hocking mold design.
Flaws to Note
Check for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the rim of the dome and the edge of the pedestal. Watch for cloudiness from hard water exposure.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Facebook Marketplace or Mercari. Glass is heavy and fragile, making it expensive and risky to ship on eBay; local pickup avoids this cost.
Selling Tips
Stage with a faux cake or colorful fruit inside to show scale. Use keywords like 'Farmhouse,' 'Minimalist,' and 'Entertaining.' If selling locally, price at $20 for a quick flip.
