Vintage copper pineapple-shaped baking and jello mold. 7” x 4.5”

Copper molds, particularly those used for baking and gelatin desserts, have a long history dating back centuries. They were prized for their excellent heat conductivity, which ensured even baking and setting of desserts. Many were ornately decorated, transforming simple dishes into works of art, and often served as decorative wall hangings when not in use. The pineapple motif itself has been a symbol of hospitality and luxury since colonial times, making it a popular design for decorative and functional household items.
