RARE ANTIQUE AMERICAN EARLY 1800s CORN MOLD YELLOW WARE

Dating to around 1840, this is a finely detailed early corn mold. The mold is very crisply formed and highly decorative. There were several different varieties of corn molds produced, and this is the most decorative and desirable. This mold is large, measuring 7″ long by 6 ¼” wide and 3 ¾ in height. This has had a long life and shows it with wear around the rim and foot. Lisa McAllister includes this mold in her book “Collector’s Guide to Yellow Ware Book 1″ on page 92.
