Synopsis:
More than 1300 photographs of antique chocolate molds in various shapes, along with many rare catalog pages, values, and tips for collectors.
Take a nostalgic journey through the world of antique chocolate molds. Designed first in early nineteenth century France, metal chocolate molds in many shapes and sizes have been manufactured throughout the world. The German company of Anton Reiche, for example, produced over 50,000 diverse chocolate mold designs during its century-long existence from 1870 to 1972. Today, such exquisitely detailed vintage molds are collected widely and used by artists and chocolatiers alike.
More than 1300 dazzling photographs in this book showcase antique chocolate molds in the shapes of bunnies, bears, chicks, roosters, and other animals; storybook characters; clowns; Santas; Christmas trees; snowmen; and many more. Items made from the molds -- in chocolate as well as chalkware, papier mache, and soap -- are also featured. An interview with one of Anton Reiche's great-granddaughters provides first-hand memories of growing up around a chocolate mold factory.
Many rare catalogue pages, tips for collectors, and current values are all included. See for yourself why chocolate molds hold such universal fascination and appeal!
About the Author: A lifelong resident of California, Wendy Mullen acquired her first chocolate mold fifteen years ago and has been an avid collector ever since. She has published articles for several magazines as well as a previous book on chocolate molds.
