A three-tier serving stand in polished nickel, three graduated plates stacked on a central post with a ring handle at the top. For the tea service, the dessert course, the raw bar built vertically.

The three tiers are the drama. It turns a plate of scones into an occasion and a stack of small sandwiches into a proper tea. Polished nickel throughout, weighted, built to be carried out full.

You bring it out for the afternoon tea, the baby shower, the brunch where the pastries need presenting, the tower of oysters and shrimp at the party.

For the wedding registry that wants one showpiece. The friend who hosts the bridal shower. The mother who does a proper tea.
