Hello, I recently purchased this wonderful cake stand and I have not had very much luck finding any information about it, can you please help? It is 9 ½” in diameter at the top and 4 ½” tall. I’m not sure if the base is weighted or if top and the bottom are two separate pieces that are connected, but it has a glob of what appears to be lead on the underside with a little nipple on the top in the center of the pattern. On the base, the pattern number 9008 or 6008 is painted on in red under the glaze. It also has a 9D stamped on the base. It really looks like it might have some age on it and looking online thought that it might possibly be an early Spode piece. (At least I hope so!!!) I am far from being an expert in any type of glass or pottery, but I recently found some really nice pieces and I think I am hooked! Any information someone could send my way would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
