Some objects do more than one thing. This ceramic cake stand was made to hold food and to hold attention. Its stacked, tiered form draws from architectural proportion, creating a presence on the table that feels considered rather than decorative.
Made at Úrsula Cerâmica in Lisbon, each piece is shaped by hand, which means no two are exactly alike. The slight variations in surface and form are part of what makes it a functional object with character far from anything mass-produced.
What it's made for
Designed for everyday use and for the moments that deserve a little more intention. It works equally well on a kitchen counter or a dining table set for guests.
- Serving cakes, tarts and layered desserts
- Displaying pastries, fruit or small bites
- Presenting appetizers at a dinner table
- Styling a counter or sideboard as a decorative object
- Gifting for a housewarming, wedding or any occasion with taste
Why it stays
The tiered structure isn't just visual. It creates distinct levels for different foods, making it practical for serving and easy to read at a glance. The ceramic material keeps surfaces clean and food-safe, and the weight of the piece gives it a quiet stability on the table.

Frequently Asked Questions
Since each piece is handmade, will mine look exactly like the one in the photos?
Not exactly and that's intentional. Each cake stand is shaped by hand at the Úrsula Cerâmica studio in Lisbon, which means small variations in surface texture, tone or form are part of the process. The photos give you a faithful sense of the design, proportions and finish, but your piece will have its own quiet character. If you're looking for something uniform and identical every time, handmade ceramics may not be for you. But if you value objects that carry a trace of how they were made, that's precisely what you'll get.
How is this different from a regular cake stand I'd find in a homeware shop?
Most cake stands are designed to be functional and forgettable. This one is made to stay on the table even when it's empty. The stacked, tiered form draws from architectural proportion — it's a considered object, not a generic one. It's also made by hand in small batches in Lisbon, which means the person who made it thought about how it would be used. The difference isn't just aesthetic: it's the kind of object that gets noticed, asked about, and kept for a long time.
How do I clean and care for a handmade ceramic piece like this?
This piece is dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe and oven-safe. For everyday use, the dishwasher works fine. If you prefer to hand wash, warm water and mild soap are all you need. Avoid abrasive sponges that could scratch the surface over time. Ceramic is durable, but it rewards careful handling — don't knock it against hard surfaces or stack heavy objects on top. Treated well, it will last for years without losing its finish or form.
Is this cake stand food-safe and suitable for direct contact with food?
Yes, the ceramic is fully food-safe and suitable for direct contact with cakes, pastries, fruit and appetizers.
