A wonderful and rarely seen example of an antique Victorian carved butter stamp with a very rarely seen carving of a clover taking centre stage.
A large example, this butter stamp features intricate detailed carving of a beautiful clover. Typically, the patterns on these antique stamps showed the provenance of the local farm where butter was produced. Featuring the national emblem of Ireland, this was most likely used by an Irish dairy or farm.
In nice condition, the carving on this example is exceptional. Both the pattern and its border are intricately carved and they have a lovely patina and colour to them.
At some point in its history it appears that the handle has either been repaired or replaced. But the result is very solid and sturdy and it doesn’t affect use in any way. It’s certainly still very usable, perhaps for biscuits.
Dimensions:
Height - 10cm
Width - 10cm
