Pineapple ice-cream mould— a small, charming treasure for home or studio. The pineapple long symbolizes welcome, and these vintage-style molds echo that. The textured pattern repeats inside and out, making them striking whether filled with sorbet or displayed on a mantel. Though not recommended now for food use, they’re irresistible as decoration. Group six or seven together like a tiny tropical grove, or arrange them on a tray or shelf to show their patina and detail.
A note of origin: ice-cream moulding began in France with Cadot in 1832, reached the U.S. in the 1870s, and was refined by inventors like Alfred Cralle in 1897. These pineapple forms connect directly to that elegant culinary history.
Versatile and decorative: group several moulds as a focal display in a kitchen, dining room or conservatory — their repeating pineapple pattern adds warmth and a welcoming feel.
Studio-ready: reusable for clay, plaster or wax; the interior texture leaves a pretty printed pattern on casts, perfect for ornaments, finials or art pieces.
Add a gracious, historic touch to your home with pineapple ice-cream moulds — beautiful, textured and hospitable.
Dimensions: 3.5” wide including hinge x 4” high
Ref. Br 2191
