Domestic object - Cookie Cutters
These cookie cutters were used for shaping dough into decorative biscuits or pastries.
The variety of shapes suggests they were used for festive occasions or themed baking (e.g., Christmas, Easter, or storybook themes).
The handmade appearance and aged patina indicate they may date from the early to mid-20th century.
Vintage cookie cutters are now collectible kitchen tools, often sought after by bakers and antique enthusiasts.The set consists of various metal cookie cutters attached to a worn, aged backing board.
The cookie cutters are made of thin, bent metal strips, shaped into figures and objects with small metal braces for reinforcement.
The designs include a man and woman in old-fashioned attire, a crescent moon, a hot air balloon, a flower with a bow, a bird, a cat, two rabbits, a chicken, a small cup shape, and a rocking horse.
Some cutters have small handles or support strips to help with pressing into dough.
The metal has visible oxidation and patina, suggesting age and use over time.
