Antique Pennsylvania Primitive-Early Glazed Redware Pottery- for Cooking & Baking Mould. ca. late 18th. Century - Early 19th Century.

Approximately 9” diameter at top rim x 3” height x 2” tall x 2 1/4” diameter cone in center of mould.

Depth of mould is approximately 2 1/2”

Base diameter is approximately 5 1/2” diameter.

Great example of early Primitive Hand Thrown Redware with low temp firing.

Heavy hand thrown mould is approximately 3 /8” thick throughout.

Was used quite a bit atop of a 5” diameter opening on oven

Glazed Moulds of this type were used for liquid tight cooking ie jellied aspic, custard, pudding, and cakes. It was a “must have” utensil in the colonial and early American periods.

The glaze continues to the bottom edge of the base. The base does not have glaze.

The condition is very good for early antique Redware.

One small chip is detected along with some light utensil marks are noted.

Most of the marks seen on the piece are from unglazed first firing of small impurities in the clay. When the clear glaze was applied, it did not fill these spots as they are clearly covered with glaze.

As shown in photos.
