Cozy Feeling Antique Hand-carved Maple Sugar Mold With Teapot and Spoon salvation army or putting to all sortsThis is a wonderfully folky old hand carved mold, for maple sugar I believe, and one which appears to have been used many many times. I fell in love with the carved teapot on it immediately about as cozy feeling a carving as I've ever seen, made all the more so by the super warm dry patina on the wood, pine I believe. It really feels as if that spoon and kettle have existed forever, like paintings on the walls of Lascaux! Very charming. 8 1 4" x 4 5
