  • The following January (2022) FTC announced, “Our limited edition Pedestal Cake Plate made quite an impact when it debuted in the 85th anniversary color Twilight …  For fans of that piece, you’ll be thrilled to know it will soon be made in the following colors: White, Turquoise, Sunflower, Scarlet, Lapis, Meadow, and new 2022 color Peony.”
  • The pedestal cake plate was shown on the Peony shape sheet.  It wasn’t as lucky the following years as it was omitted on the Jade and Sky shape sheets.
  • During the HLCCA conference July 2024, the FTC representative discussed that this piece had a “short production period”, but did not say it was “discontinued”, hence the ??? as being discontinued.  I’ll leave that decision to you on how you would like to interpret it.  
  • The tops of the cake plate is not a 12″ baking / pizza tray.  Check out the Baking / Pizza Tray page to see a comparison of the two.

Fun Fact – Daffodil (illustrated to the left) and Jade bases were sold at one of the factory tent sales.  These two colors were never produced with the matching top / tray.  

Thank you to Steve and Donna Scallan for the use of their photo.
