HISTORY, PROVENANCE, ANECDOTAL, METAPHYSICAL, SYMBOLISM &/or LORE: Copper molds originated in Europe in the 1700s and enjoyed a long run in the kitchen that lasted through World War I. Highly popularized during the Victorian Era (1837 to 1901) where they were used to make classic European dishes such as blancmange (a dairy-based gelatin dessert), savory chicken and ham pie, puddings, and cakes. These molds remained a common kitchen staple and enjoyed a surge during the 20th century where Jell-O reigned supreme. Perfect now for just admiring their craftsmanship, complexities and nuances. They make lovely wall hangings or create a unique display on a plate rack or shelf.
