This is another favorite from my collection of cake stands; only this one is from the post-depression era. The pattern is known as 'Lace Dew Drop' and made by Phoenix Glass Company in 1937 from molds acquired from Co-Operative Flint Glass who made the EAPG pattern in crystal in 1902 and first called it 'Lacy Dewdrop'. This pattern was also later made by Kemple Glass, but Phoenix Glass was the only one to produce the milk glass w/Cobalt.
