# Aquatic Plant-Inspired Kitchenware The ‘Lilypad Cake Stand’ is Handcrafted from Stoneware By Caitlyn Fernandez | Published 2022-02-02 | Updated 2022-02-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lilypad-cake-stand References: [anthropologie](https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/lilypad-cake-stand?category=valentines-day-shop&color=098&type=STANDARD&quantity=1) & [anthropologie](https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/lilypad-cake-stand?category=valentines-day-shop&color=098&type=STANDARD&quantity=1)  [Anthropologie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farm-rios) has recently released the whimsical-looking ‘Lilypad Cake Stand.’ Consumers are able to choose between two sizes: the small, which has a diameter of 9 inches, and the large, which has a diameter of 12.75 inches. Each piece is handcrafted from hand-glazed stoneware and designed to look like a lilypad. From its leaf veins to texture, its intricate details make it look realistic and natural. A unique feature of each cake stand is that the height of each is created and held up by smaller lily pads to create a cohesive design. The Lilypad Cake Stand is just one item from the Lilypad collection. Consumers can also purchase the ‘[Lilypad Teapot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection),’ Lilypad Butter Dish,’ ‘Lilypad Serving [Set](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spring-campaign),’ and the ‘Lilypad Platter’ to complete the set -- all available on the Anthropologie website.
