A very unusual, carved wooden shortbread mould. Unmarked. Date: c.1890. Size: 17.8cm. (7") long by 15cm. (6") wide by 2.5cm. (1") deep. This mould is very well carved, in limewood, with a design which is based on the Engish Royal Coat of Arms. At the bottom of the design is carved 'J. SCRYMGEOUR' which is a persons name. We think that this may be the name of a baker and that the mould was made for use by the baker at around the time of one of Queen Victorias' jubilees. The carving is very well executed and the piece is in excellent condition. The design of this mould is very slightly different to the mould below. |
