Antique English Staffordshire Cream Ware Pudding Cake Mold Gothic

Beautiful Antique English Staffordshire Cream Ware Pudding Cake Mold Gothic made in the mid to later 1800's. Molds like this were used to make steamed puddings, as well as 'jellies' by cook for grand luncheons, or dinner desserts. This mold is so lovely, with all the age, patina and colorations you want to see on an antique culinary piece of this age. Inside, the design is reminiscent of Gothic cathedral windows, with a fleur de lis at the very top of the design. The color has aged to a 'cafe au lait' cream.

Scalloped oval shape, with delicate detailing that looks so pretty once the pudding is molded onto a pedestal plate. Glorious aged darker color with craquelure, age discoloration, in one word, just perfect! Marked for the company JB inside a small bell on the bottom. There is a chip to the foot, no wonder after being used to make Sunday and holiday creations for over a century! A heavy piece, display this beauty with your other pudding and cake molds. Sheer delight.

• Measures 8-1/2" x 6-1/2"h.
