Copper Moulds

As well as being beautiful to look at, Copper moulds offer the easiest chance of creating a stunning, high definition jelly with an antique mould. All copper moulds are lined with tin, when buying a mould, its vital to make sure that this layer of tin is in good condition or the mould will be unusable.

It is still possible to get moulds "re-tinned" and indeed you will see initials stamped on some moulds - these were applied when a mould was sent for re-tinning to make sure the right mould was returned to the right household.

Some of my Favourites

Many copper moulds would have originally come with a ceramic inert that could be suspended in the jelly as it set, then removed leaving a shaped hollow for another colour to be set inside the original. Unfortunately, it is extremely rare to find a mould with these liners and they are priced accordingly!

Most of the iconic shapes are available in smaller sizes, these mould are fantastic for learning the art of jelly making and provide much better value for someone starting out.
