Antique White Ironstone Jelly Mould - Swan in a Reed Bed

A very sweet and rarely seen example of an antique early to mid 20th Century white ironstone jelly mould, in an unusual large pentagonal shape, and featuring a rare subject of a swan sitting atop reed beds.

Bearing a Made in England stamp to its base, this mould is likely to date to around the 1930s. It is in excellent condition considering its age, with just some lightly stained crazing all over. This gives it a unique timeworn patina. And there are no chips or cracks.

Antique and vintage jelly moulds are highly collectable. Not only are they still usable today (with care), with the making and presentation of a jelly an event in itself, but they also look fabulous as part of a kitchenalia collection.
