Serveware at Mikolia
The way food is presented is part of the pleasure of sharing it. A cake raised on a stand, fruit piled in a golden bowl or sweets shining in a glass jar all make a table feel generous and welcoming before anyone has taken a bite. Our serveware collection at Mikolia brings together elegant pieces for serving and displaying food, chosen to make everyday meals feel special and to help you host with confidence.
From glass cake stands with gold rims to rotating serving plates, dessert cups and apothecary jars, every piece combines timeless style with practical use. They look just as beautiful on display between meals as they do in the middle of a busy table.
Cake Stands
Nothing lifts a table quite like a cake stand. Our Glass Cake Stand with Gold Rim has a textured clear glass plate with a deep, organic gold rim, raised on a smooth brushed gold base. It comes in three sizes: 18cm for petits fours and macarons, 24cm for pastries and tarts, and 31cm for a celebration cake.
Choose a single stand, or the set of three and stack them into a three-tier display for afternoon tea, birthdays, baby showers and weddings. Between occasions, a cake stand makes a lovely base for candles, a small plant or seasonal decorations, so it earns its place on the worktop all year round.
Lazy Susans and Serving Plates
A rotating serving plate makes sharing easy. Our Rotating Glass Lazy Susan Serving Plate with Gold Rim turns smoothly on its central base, so everyone at the table can reach every treat with a gentle spin. The softly textured glass and wavy gold scalloped edge give it an elegant look that catches the light.
It comes in 21cm, 27cm and 33cm sizes. Use the smallest for biscuits or chocolates with coffee, the medium for cakes and pastries, and the largest as a centrepiece for cheese, charcuterie, desserts or a selection of dips. It is a wonderful piece for relaxed entertaining, when dishes are placed in the middle of the table to share.
Fruit Bowls
A fruit bowl is one of the hardest-working pieces in the home, so it should be a beautiful one. The Gold Hammered Glass Fruit Bowl has a softly wavy, ruffled rim and a hammered texture finished in gold, so it shimmers as the light changes through the day. At 28cm across, it is generous enough for grapes, figs and seasonal fruit, and it makes an elegant centrepiece on a dining table, kitchen island or coffee table even when empty.
Dessert Cups
Individual desserts always feel a little more special. Our Scalloped Glass Dessert Cups have a bowl shaped like a blooming flower with a ribbed pedestal foot, and come in sets of two, four or six. The Set of 4 Vintage Embossed Glass Dessert Cups have beaded rims, an embossed floral pattern and pretty star-shaped feet, for a touch of vintage charm.
Both are perfect for ice cream sundaes, trifle, mousse, panna cotta, Eton mess and fruit salad. They are also lovely for nuts and sweets at a party, or for granola and yoghurt at a weekend brunch.
Sweet Jars and Apothecary Jars
Glass jars turn simple treats into a display. Our Glass Apothecary Sweet Jar with Lid has a rounded bowl on a pedestal foot with a tiered glass lid, in 21cm and 32cm sizes, while the Set of 3 Glass Apothecary Jars offers three different shapes and heights for a naturally balanced arrangement. Made from food safe glass, they are ideal for biscuits, sweets, macarons and wrapped chocolates.
They are a favourite for sweet tables at weddings, christenings and birthday parties, and look charming on a kitchen worktop all year round. For the breakfast table, the Glass Honey Jar with Bee Lid and Dipper adds a sweet finishing touch, and at Christmas our Christmas tree stacking sweet jars make a festive centrepiece.

How to Set a Beautiful Table for Guests
You do not need a matching dinner service to create a table that feels special. Start with height: a cake stand or a tiered display in the centre draws the eye and frees up space around it. Add a lazy Susan for dishes to share, then place a bowl of fruit or a jar of sweets at one end for colour.
Keep to a simple palette. Clear glass and gold work beautifully with white plates, linen napkins and fresh flowers, and suit both everyday lunches and celebrations in the dining room. For afternoon tea, stack the three cake stands with sandwiches at the bottom, scones in the middle and cakes on top, and serve with one of our tea and coffee sets. For drinks, add our ribbed glass pitcher and browse all glassware and drinkware.
For a buffet or party in the kitchen, vary the heights of your serving pieces so everything can be seen and reached, and group sweet and savoury dishes separately. A few candles and a small vase of flowers finish the scene.
Serveware as Gifts
Serveware makes a thoughtful present because it is used and enjoyed for years. A cake stand is a lovely gift for a keen baker, a set of dessert cups suits anyone who loves to host, and a fruit bowl or apothecary jar is a welcome choice among housewarming gifts. For newlyweds, a set of three cake stands or a lazy Susan makes one of the most useful wedding gifts. Explore more ideas across our gifts collections.
Caring for Your Serveware
To keep your serveware looking its best, we recommend washing it by hand in warm soapy water and drying it with a soft cloth. Pieces with a gold rim or gold finish are not suitable for the dishwasher or microwave, as this can damage the gold. Avoid abrasive cleaners and sudden changes in temperature, and always place stacked cake stands on a flat, stable surface. Please check the care instructions on each product page.
