All you need to make your own:
Small vintage plateA small pretty glass or candlestick - I prefer little glasses you would serve liquors inSilicone Adhesive
Instructions for making Mini Cake Stands that are so cuteyou could charge $78.00 when you are done
+ Clean the plate and glass with soapy water- dry thoroughly
+ Apply small ring of silicone adhesive around the bottom ring of the glass {you will want the drinking edge of the glass to set on the table}.  Place carefully on the bottom center of the plate.  Hold firm for a minute or two and try not to move around.  You want a good seal.
+ Wipe any extra that might have squeezed out of an edge.
+ These will need to dry over night in a protected area.  

*After the adhesive dries you have a seal strong enough to be put through the dishwashers!  Although I still recommend you hand wash them for safe keeping.  Some vintage plates will chip and lose paint in the dishwasher.
