Vintage mixing bowls can be practical, functional kitchen tools as well as beautiful pieces of kitchen decor. While some vintage dishes aren't safe to use to prepare food, they can still be proudly displayed on shelves or a kitchen hutch. Best of all, certain vintage dishes may be worth more than you think. If you regularly visit thrift shops and antique stores to look for antique plates and bowls, keep your eye out for vintage pancheons.
Copper molds are a vintage baking tool that people don't use much anymore. They were regularly used during the Victorian era to make decorative, molded dishes like puddings, cakes, and breads. They were typically handmade by artisans and very ornate, molded into delightful shapes like fish, flowers, birds, rabbits, and fruit. However, handmade copper molds fell out of favor after World War I, as the materials weren't readily available and many of the craftsmen capable of making them had retired.
