Antique Yellowware Wheat Sheaf Pudding Mold Stoneware Jelly Mold Primitive 7.5"

Antique yellowware/stoneware food mold featuring a deeply molded sheaf of wheat tied at the center and surrounded by a fluted border. The mold has an octagonal flared form with a raised oval foot and a cream-to-buff glaze with natural dark speckling. When a pudding, jelly, blancmange or similar food was turned out of the mold, the wheat design would appear in relief. This is an unmarked example, so no manufacturer is being attributed. Similar wheat-sheaf yellowware and stoneware molds are generally associated with late 19th- and early 20th-century kitchenware. Approximate measurements: • 7 1/2 long • 5 3/4 wide • 3 high Good antique condition with expected evidence of age and use, including glaze crazing, scattered discoloration/speckling, surface wear and firing/glaze irregularities. A fine hairline extends from the rim and is shown in the photographs. There are also minor rim imperfections. No major chips, repairs or large areas of loss noted.
