About the Item

A gorgeous chocolate mold. Made of metal, not marked. Beautiful and ready to use or display, with nice patina.

The most known and best Manufactory for this kind of molds was the famous Anton Reiche factory in Dresden, Germany, but many others around Europe made also beautiful chocolate molds. So some of this examples stands for the tradition of making molded chocolate figures. Fantastic piece for each collector. Found at an Estate sale in Nuremberg, Germany.
