A 19th Century Staffordshire Curd Mould
£80.00
A 19th-century Staffordshire ceramic curd mould, attributed in the manner of Minton, originally made for draining curds and soft cheeses. Crafted in creamy glazed earthenware, its gently tapering form is pierced with a series of drainage holes, including a charming ship motif near one aperture — an unusual detail that lends the piece its distinctive character.
Though designed as a practical kitchen object, it now feels quietly sculptural. Its balanced proportions and honest utility make it as appealing displayed on open shelving as it is put to use within the home.
A piece of Victorian craftsmanship that lends itself beautifully to modern living. Perfect for rinsing and storing small fruits such as berries, the pierced design allows water to drain naturally while bringing understated character to the kitchen.
