DescriptionPressed colorless glass stand consisting of a glass tray on three glass legs. The tray has an undulating, round edge and a shallow, rounded surface. Each of the three legs has a radiating tail of glass connecting it to the surface of the tray. The stand is decorated on the top surface with a colorful transfer design showing a cluster of fruit: one peach, blackberries, strawberries, and bluberries, in a cluster of green leaves, vines, and small white flowers.

A small sticker is adhered to the top of the stand. The sticker is shaped like a half-wreath, with raised silver words and designs on a field of blue. The sticker reads, "BY/ Silver City/ GIFTS FOR EVERY/ OCCASION". Beneath this are raised silver olive branches on either side of a small silver circle containing the words, "SILVER/ CITY/ GLASS/ CO" in blue letters.
