This beautifully crafted antique wooden butter mold showcases traditional folk art craftsmanship with a striking carved floral motif at its center. Made from solid hardwood and constructed in hinged sections, the mold opens to reveal a deeply carved interior designed to shape and decorate butter for presentation—an important domestic art in 18th–19th century rural households.
Measuring approximately 11 inches tall, 5.25 inches wide, and 2.5 inches thick, the elongated form is both sculptural and practical. The exterior displays a rich, time-darkened patina, while the interior carving features a stylized flower with leaves, adding charm and individuality. Original metal hinges and hardware remain intact, underscoring its age and authenticity.
Today, this piece works beautifully as a folk art object, kitchen collectible, or decorative accent. Whether displayed open or closed, it brings warmth, history, and handmade character to any interior.
