Early 20th-Century Pale Blue Enameled Cast Iron Kouglof Mold w/ Scalloped Form 10¾"

An early 20th-century cast iron cake mold with a distinctive lobed form, traditionally used for baking Kouglof or Gugelhupf cakes.

The mold features a sky blue enamel exterior with a white-glazed interior, both exhibiting signs of age including enamel losses and craquelure consistent with decades of use. Designed with two opposing loop handles and a central chimney, the interior is scalloped to create a ridged cake form, a hallmark of Alsatian and Central European pâtisserie. The robust weight and even casting underscore its functional quality, while the softened wear and exposed iron lend it decorative charm.

Rich in patina and character, this piece reflects regional baking traditions and remains as sculptural as it is utilitarian.  It would make a charming accent in a country kitchen, whether hung on a wall as a focal point or nestled among other vintage culinary objects. Its bright blue enamel adds a cheerful pop of color and a dash of vintage charm, bringing warmth, history, and a touch of whimsy.

Condition and wear consistent with age and use.
