Pressed glass, characterized by its intricate patterns created by pressing molten glass into molds, became widely popular in the mid-19th century and continued through the 20th century. This technique allowed for the mass production of decorative and affordable tableware, including cake stands, serving dishes, and decorative items. Many American companies, such as Anchor Hocking, were prominent manufacturers of pressed glass during this era.

Cake stands with domed lids, often referred to as cake domes or cloches, served a dual purpose: to elegantly display cakes and pastries while protecting them from dust and insects. The designs often incorporated decorative elements like scalloped edges, floral motifs, or geometric patterns, reflecting the prevailing aesthetic trends of their time. These pieces are still collected today for their charm and practicality.
