Dimensions:
A rare copper mould in the shape of the hull of a boat. This piece is marked 'TROTTIER FNT PARIS' within a circle and it dates from c.1870. We have never seen a mould of this form before. It was probably for nougat or ice and would have been used as part of an elaborate table display. It is made from a substantial gauge of copper and has been made from two halves which are joined together by a castellated seam. It is in excellent condition. The tinning, to the interior, is dark but it has not worn through.
Price includes postage with the U.K., Western Europe and the U.S.A.
