Marbled earthenware baking mould with handle – jaspé, 19th / early 20th century

Marbled earthenware (jaspé)

A beautiful marbled earthenware baking mould with a handle, known in French as terre jaspée. Cream, brown and purplish layers of clay have been swirled together into a lively marbled pattern. Inside a star-shaped base and a border of small bosses; the top rim is scalloped. Made for a bundt cake, pudding or pie in the 19th or early 20th century.

Why we chose this mould

Marbled earthenware is a small work of art: no two pieces are the same. The colours of this mould are exceptionally rich, and it has truly been used, as you can see on the inside.

Style and interior

Wonderful in a French country kitchen, a brocante or wabi sabi interior. On the wall, on an open cupboard or as a fruit bowl.

Dimensions: diameter 23 cm, height 10 cm
Material: marbled earthenware, lead glaze
Period: 19th / early 20th century
Origin: France
Condition: signs of use. A hairline crack runs from the rim through the wall (visible inside and out, and audible when tapped) and there is a chip in the scalloped rim. The underside is unglazed with firing marks and signs of use; small glaze chips on the inside. Stable, but no longer suitable for baking. On the underside there is still an old price sticker of 150 guilders: so the mould was already being traded as an antique before 2002.
