Tiered serving trays, also known as tidbit trays or cake stands, have a long history of use in entertaining and displaying food. Their design allows for an elegant presentation of small bites, pastries, and desserts, maximizing surface area while occupying minimal table space. The use of cut glass became particularly popular in the late 19th and throughout the 20th century, offering a more affordable yet visually appealing alternative to fine crystal.
This particular style, with its geometric pressed or cut patterns and simple gold-toned hardware, is characteristic of mid-century home entertaining. Such pieces were common in households during the 1950s through the 1970s, reflecting a period of increased domesticity and social gatherings. They are often found in various decorative glass patterns, from hobnail to starbursts, and are valued for their practicality and decorative appeal.
