Spade Pewter Ice Cream Mold #444 | Antique

Step through the looking glass with this spectacular piece straight from the Red Queen’s royal guards! This antique pewter ice cream mold features a bold, deeply embossed spade playing card suit design, marked on the exterior with its original historical catalog stamp "444". This heavy-duty hinged piece stands approximately 4 inches high by 3.5 inches wide when closed. To weave its culinary magic, a Victorian confectioner packed both sides with rich ice cream, clamped the metal shut, and buried it deep in salted ice to freeze. Once hardened, a quick dip in warm water allowed the pewter to unhinge, dropping a perfectly formed spade dessert onto a whimsical Mad Hatter tea party plate. The mold showcases a beautiful, moody gray antique patina that brings an authentic touch of historical Wonderland curiosity to any display.
