Pair of decorative clear glass jelly / pate / mousse moulds

c1950/60s maybe earlier

Larger one measures approx:

17.5cm x 11.5cm across top
9 cm in height

Smaller one measures approx:

13.5cm x 10cm across top
8cm is n height

Condition A/F

Larger mould is in superb condition. No chips or breaks

Smaller one however has about 7/8 chips to the rim which can be seen and felt. Nothing sharp but I would not recommend them to be used.

History:

The first jelly moulds were made from salt-glazed stoneware and were often in geometric shapes intended for a single serve. From about 1830, metal jelly moulds also came into use. Copper moulds were tinned on the interior to prevent poisoning. Glass jelly moulds became popular from the 1930s onwards.
