I recently learned about an amazing product
from one of my good friends, very talented Mary
It acts like glue to securely hold ceramic, glass, and china pieces together
but it is removable!
You can use it to make a pedestal serving tray for a special occasion
and then take it apart and use the pieces for other things~
The possibilities are endless!
I collected pieces from one of my favorite dishware sets,
Villa della Luna by Pfaltzgraff
Then I started stacking pieces,
securing them with the putty to build a unique tiered tray
Tear off a piece of putty and massage it with your fingers
to make it pliable
Place it on the bottom of what you want to secure
Press down firmly and twist a little
which forms kind of a suction
Let it set overnight for best adhesion
To remove putty
hold item at the base and top and twist while gently pulling
Putty pieces can be used again
I placed the coffee mug upside down on the charger plate
with the putty on the inside edge of mug in several places
so you wouldn’t see it
and then more putty and a dinner plate with putty on the bottom
Next I added the bowl upside down,
again the putty is on the inside edges
Next the salad plate
Then a mini sherbet dish {not Pflatzgraff but a matching color}
And a small bread and butter plate on top
I love to use tiered trays for serving appetizers, desserts, and small bites
They can be used on the table or they are great for buffets
With museum putty you can make one to match your tablescape!
I also made a pedestal serving tray with my Seashell dishes,
“Coquille” by Fitz & Floyd
and a shell embellished charger I made a long time ago
For this one I stacked the pieces before securing to try out different looks
For the first one
I used the ceramic cups upside down between the plates
Then I swapped them for the sherbet dishes
Upside down
Then right side up!
Create a wonderful serving pedestal tray
from things you already have~
You can see this can lead to endless possibilities!
The museum putty, Quake Hold is available on Amazon here
