Details
A beautiful piece of antique French pottery, this 19th century moule à gâteau cake mold was made in the Alsace region of France for creating the beloved holiday cake known as kougelhopf. This traditional yeasted cake, studded with raisins, almonds, and a touch of brandy, has long been part of French and European celebrations. The distinctive fluted circular shape was thoughtfully designed to help cakes bake evenly, making these molds a cherished part of French kitchens in the 1800s.

Finished in a warm nutmeg glaze with a softly aged surface, this antique pottery mold brings the beauty and history of the European kitchen into your home. With its graceful scalloped silhouette and authentic character, it is a wonderful addition to a collection of French Country pottery. Display it on open shelving, fill it with seasonal fruit, or use it as a charming reminder of the traditions and gatherings that shaped everyday life in France.

  • Measures 10-1/8" diameter x 5-1/4"h.
