Description
A true gem of mid-century French pâtisserie, this vintage copper “moule à ruban” features a sculpted ribbon motif looping elegantly across the top — like a tied bow frozen in metal. This charming design was a popular motif in early to mid-20th century molds, used for crafting jellies, charlottes, and mousses that were as decorative as they were delicious.
The rounded, petal-like lobes circling the sides create a deeply baroque silhouette, catching the light beautifully when hung on display — or forming a dramatic presentation when unmolded. Measuring 7.5" across and 4.5" deep, it’s a medium “moule à entremets”, the perfect table size for classic French desserts.
Handcrafted from solid copper and tin-lined for practical use, it hails from France’s legendary copper-making region, Villedieu-les-Poêles, where traditional metalworking techniques have been passed down for generations.
Whether you use it for baking, gelatin, or simply as a gleaming accent in your kitchen, this ribboned copper mold embodies the warmth and artistry of French country kitchens.
