Antique Set of 5 French Ceramic Animal Molds - Blue and Green

You will receive all 5 molds with the purchase of this listing. This is an antique set of 5 animal ceramic block molds that were used in the kitchen to emboss things like cookies and butter. They are French and dated to the late 1800s and early 1900s. This set includes two bear molds (green edge) and one, horse, chicken and elephant mold (blue edge). All are in fair to good antique condition with wear consistent with age. Significant chips can be found around the edges of these molds (see listing photos) and faded paint. These would be stunning displayed in the kitchen on open shelving and would also be perfect in a nursery. And excellent set with great colors. Our favorite molds out of these 5 are the bears. Up close their form gets a little fuzzy and their heads kind of melt into the structure, but at a farther distance it's not noticeable.
