A rare find, this vintage Stangl pottery blue ceramic mold from the Town and Country sponge ware collection is a remarkable example of the hand-painted spongeware for which Stangl, based in Trenton, NJ, is renowned. Despite the absence of a stamp, its design is clearly indicative of the Town and Country line. This piece, with its striking blue and white hues, doubles as both a charming wall adornment and a practical kitchen utensil. It has dimensions of 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches in height. It could be used to bake a bundt cake, create a jelly mold or baked apple pies.
