The Story
A true kitchen classic, this "conker brown" antique stoneware mould dates from the late 19th to early 20th century (c. 1880s–1900). In a time before plastic, these heavy-duty salt-glazed vessels were essential for creating jellies and savory aspics. Its utilitarian beauty - marked by its rich, textured glaze and decorative interior, makes it a quintessential piece of Victorian domestic history.
The Details
Dimensions: 16.5cm W x 14cm D x 9cm H.
Shape: Large oval with deep sides and a decorative ribbed interior.
Finish: Salt-glazed exterior in a deep brown hue with a neutral, creamy interior.
Era: c. 1880s–1900.
Condition: Excellent, clean antique condition. It is free of chips or major surface marks despite years of use. There is a very tiny, stable, and historic hairline on the top outer edge, which does not affect its durability or display quality.
Why It’s Special
This mould is not only a piece of art but remains perfectly usable for modern desserts, though it is just as prized as a sculptural object for the home.
Styling Tips
Modern Farmhouse Kitchen: Display it on an open shelf or atop a vintage dresser alongside other stoneware jugs and creamware. The rich brown color provides a warm, earthy anchor to a collection.
Textural Centerpiece: Turn it upside down to appreciate the ribbed molding as a piece of abstract sculpture.
Functional Dessert Ware: Use it to set a traditional fruit jelly or panna cotta. The ribbed interior will leave a beautiful, architectural pattern on your dessert that modern silicone moulds often fail to replicate.
