Description:
Jellies and other gelatine-based foods like aspics are not very fashionable today. They seem artificial and usually take a great deal of time to prepare. In the past however, jellies and creams were often the crowning glories of the dinner table. They served to amuse and delight guests as they wiggled and shimmered. Molded leaf-shaped jelly mold or dish with intaglio-molded as a pine cone surrounded by pine needles or possibly a pineapple, back of the mold is humped leaf shape. Staffordshire, England, c. 1765. White salt-glazed stoneware. The case mold for this jelly mold is illustrated in Arnold Mountford's An Illustrated Guide to Staffordshire Salt-Glazed Stoneware, fig. 35 (center) and is located in the collection of the Potteries Museum, Hanley.
