1983 Brown Bag Cookie Art Shortbread Mold

1983 Brown Bag Cookie Art Cookie Mold. Measures about 7.25" in height by 4.5" wide. Excellent condition.

This 1983 stoneware mold from the Brown Bag Cookie Art collection is a classic example of Hill Design's early American-inspired folk art. This specific mold features a beautifully detailed, full-length Santa Claus, capturing the "Old World" aesthetic with a long flowing robe, a bundle of toys, and a tiny Christmas tree. The deep intaglio carving ensures that every fold of the fabric and detail of the beard translates perfectly into your shortbread or cookie dough.

Crafted from heavy, unglazed stoneware, this piece offers the superior heat distribution that Brown Bag is famous for, allowing for a clean release and a professional, embossed finish. While it remains a fully functional kitchen tool, its primitive charm makes it a lovely decorative piece for a gallery wall or a holiday mantel display. The 43-year-old clay has aged beautifully, maintaining its crisp edges and sandy texture without the heavy staining often seen in well-used vintage pieces.

This item is vintage, over 40 years old. All measurements are close but approximate. I measure in quarter inches.
