Fish shaped forms and aged silver surfaces bring an unexpected detail to kitchen shelves.
This set of ten vintage tinplate moulds combines practical design with a distinctive silhouette. Their lightweight construction, shaped bodies and flat tail extensions reflect their original role as culinary tools, while variations in tarnishing give each piece its own surface character.
Dating from the early to mid 20th century and believed to be European, they offer a glimpse into the decorative side of confectionery making. Today, their appeal lies in the shapes, textures and traces of use.
Arrange them in a shallow bowl on an open shelf, or display a few upright against a kitchen dresser back. The muted metal sits well alongside glazed pottery, wooden utensils and contemporary kitchenware.
An unusual set of kitchenalia for adding texture and personality to the home.
