Antique French Copper Swirl Mold with Hanging Ring, Sourced in Venice

A sculptural antique French copper mold discovered in a Venice antique market, featuring a beautiful swirling interior pattern and classic domed center. Measuring approximately 9 inches in diameter and 3.25 inches tall, it has wonderful scale for wall display or shelf layering.

This piece shows significant and honest wear from decades of use. There are areas of thinning at the upper rim where the copper has worn through, small holes near the top edge, and a slight lopsidedness that speaks to its long working life. The interior retains its deep, time-darkened patina, and the original hanging ring remains intact.

This is not a pristine example, it is a true survivor. A piece of French kitchen history with character, movement, and that imperfect beauty that only age can create. Stunning layered with stone, old paintings, and other culinary antiques.
