Product Description

Why not invite your friends in for an English afternoon with tea and shortbread? This Victorian Pottery 8-1/2 inch hexagon shaped shortbread mould features a beautiful pattern of assorted berries imbedded in the base, which will transfer to the top of each cookie during the baking process. It has an attractive fluted edge, which makes it a great showpiece, as well. The Victorian Pottery Company is a long established maker of fine traditional kitchenware. With skills being passed down from generation to generation, this quintessential English creamware is a classic example of traditional pottery making at its best. Each piece is moulded and glazed by hand, then fired at temperatures above 2000 degrees. This high firing gives each piece incredible strength and durability.

This review is from: Victorian Pottery Festival of Berries Short Bread Mould (Kitchen)

There's nothing like entertaining, whether you do it in England or in your own home, which you can make into a mini-England with Victorian pottery and food.

I was having a bunch of clients to my apartment, and one of them I knew, was really what you might call an Anglophile. He plays golf in Scotland (only) and has all his suits made in London. His wife has some royal blood in her, but none of us at the office know from what country. Nevertheless they love shortbread and biscuits, what the British people like to call the same snacks we call "cookies." I was in a quandary not knowing how to prepare any of their special food, so I organized a pot luck (which happily are just as popular in the UK as they are here, under another name of course-- our "pot luck" comes down to us from American Indian roots), and I volunteered to make the shortbread, using my white Cuthbertson dinner mould.

It's big--almost nine inches from corner to corner, and you can't beat the price. In Britain such a fine product would cost nearly twelve pounds-minimum-*if* you could find it and were lucky enough to have a shopkeeper or friend who would sell you it. My guests were all oohing and aahing as I pulled out my silver biscuit tray and displayed my Cuthbertson shortbreads, not too heavy, not too lightweight, and my royal guest was the first one to point out the cunning pattern of intertwined berries on the top of the dessert, saying it reminded her of Boxing Day (favorite holiday overseas, and berries a traditional element in a good Boxing Day celebration). Next time I might try some berries within the shortbread, for a different kind of tasty thrill. In the meantime I keep my mould on the "plate rack" built into my traditional mantelpiece with some other kitchen items that have gotten too numerous to store in the pantry.

PS, I got the promotion!
