Broken cake stand

[ShadowPaint]

14 years ago I received the most glorious white bone china cake stand with glass dome as a wedding present from my grandmother. It was a Royal Doulton collab and it was simple yet refined and absolutely perfect for fitting all my oversized kid’s birthday cakes onto. It’s now smashed.
The incident involved a disagreement over a second piece of cake and the lid was placed down too roughly and it shattered everywhere, the base split in two.
It wasn’t me who broke it but I’m now looking for a fitting replacement. Nothing in the shops I can find seems as elegant or beautiful. The ones I find have knobs at the top that seem disproportionally oversized and the base not elegant or they are too plain.
Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places.
Does anyone have any recommendations?

Just for extra info the base was 33cm in diameter and the dome was… not sure now but it was tall.

Do you have a picture of the cake stand? Have you tried Vinted or eBay?

How smashed is it? You could look for a kintsugi(sp?) Kit - typically it uses gold coloured stuff (cant think of the word!), to repair broken crockery. You end up eith something that has been repaired so looks different but still beautiful!

If you can put a photo someone might be able to find you a replacement.

Try charity shops or vinted. I would also email Royal Doulton they might be able to help

I seem to find charity shops are these days the place to find such treasures!

This is it.

I would agree. They are certainly the place to go for China dinner services anyway. I think the generation who bought this sort of thing for best are now dying off and their descendants don't want them.

I also have a lovely glass cake stand with a large glass dome but I bought mine for £2 in a table top sale at work about 20 years ago. Not much help, sorry!

Have you considered buying the two parts separately? This cake stand is elegant:

Have a look on Nisbet's, The olympia dome is nice as the stands.

Who was the twat who broke the dome?

Are they going to reimburse you / help
look for a replacement?

Check out china matching services which have traditional spares and overruns. Think a lot are on ebay.

then some is sold separately
couple of cms smaller in diameter

Hi everyone, I’ve have been looking at all your recommendations. Thank you for taking the time to post all the links, so nice that strangers on the net would take the time to help me out, I really appreciate it.
The base could be glued together as it split where the plate meets the foot. The west wing lid does look similar to my dome.

Thank you, good idea.

What a lucky find! Definitely an idea to check out my local op shops, you never know. Thanks!

Surely the idiot who broke it should be finding you one?

Since it broke over an argument over a second piece of cake, I’m assuming the person who broke it was a child!

My son, he did feel bad and ran to his room in tears. It was an accident. He was replacing the lid after being told no. But he was a bit rough.
These things happen, and the base had previously broke and was glued together.
I may have laboured the point about how important this cake stand was a bit too much.
I think we both felt bad.

TK Maxx often has beautiful large domes (with a stand).

I would make it a habit to pop in when you’re in town.
