🎎 Vintage Japanese Candy Molds – Mid-20th Century – Japan Antique Roadshow

$30.71 CAD

🎎 These charming vintage Japanese candy molds, likely from the mid-20th century, were crafted from soft pressed metal—possibly tin—and used to form traditional sweets in playful, floral-inspired shapes. Light in the hand and timeworn in all the right ways, these molds once served as everyday tools in homes or neighborhood shops where wagashi or other molded confections were prepared.

📏 Approximate dimensions

  • Round mold: 4 cm diameter × 0.75 cm deep

  • Square/diamond mold: 4.2 cm length × 3.5 cm width × ~1 cm deep

  • Combined weight: 10 g (approx. 5 g each)

  • Material: Thin pressed metal (likely tin)

  • Condition: Fair vintage condition with scattered rust spots, minor scratches, and gentle dents from use

While modest in size, these molds offer a glimpse into Japan’s tactile culinary past—when sweets were often handmade and lovingly shaped. Their current state suggests a humble endurance through decades of kitchen work and storage, making them as collectible as they are nostalgic.

Curated in Shizuoka City by Kurt Bell, this pair offers a quiet, tangible connection to Japanese domestic life and culinary heritage.
