Green-brown earthenware kugelhopf mould with two handles – late 19th / early 20th century

Antique earthenware bundt cake mould

A characterful antique bundt cake mould in earthenware with two handles and diagonally twisted ribs. The glaze ranges from olive green to rust brown with orange patches. Inside is a tall central cone, so that the bundt cake or kugelhopf baked evenly. Made in Central Europe, late 19th – early 20th century. This shape was made virtually unchanged for a long time; comparable examples are dated from the 19th century into the first half of the 20th century.

Why we chose this mould

The colour of this glaze is beautifully deep and warm, and the twisted shape is a feast for the eyes. A genuine utilitarian object from a grandmother’s kitchen that can now shine as a decorative piece.

Style and interior

Fits perfectly in a country kitchen, a brocante or wabi sabi interior. Hang it on the wall or place it on an old cupboard.
