I've long admired antique butter molds like this, with their beautiful carvings and smooth worn patina. I've been looking for one to display on my new kitchen shelves, so I was thrilled to find this one at an antique show in town this past weekend. I just love the detailed strawberry vine carving - it's so cute! - and it was in great condition for just $30. These primitive butter molds are quite collectible, and I've most often see them priced at $50 - $80 or more, depending on the condition and design, so I was tickled pink with my find. It now has the perfect new home, nestled between two yellowware bowls above my kitchen sink.
That is so beautiful, I can almost feel it. I do love wooden things, I think it comes from my dad who did woodwork and I just loved being in his shed as a child. Suzy
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of Little House on the Prairie series I read this past summer-- Laura talks about how they didn't have much, but when they had cream for butter momma would press it in the butter mold and it seemed like a treat!
ReplyDeleteI can see by the detail of your mold, how that would make real-butter that much sweeter!
It looks pretty on your shelf with your yellow ware bowls,btw!
