This beautifully worn antique redware cake mold features a rich, reddish-brown glaze with darkened highlights from decades of use. The classic fluted shape and built-in central chimney identify this as a traditional Gugelhupf or Bundt-style mold, perfect for historical baking or rustic kitchen decor. The exterior shows charming imperfections consistent with age, and the interior glaze is still vibrant. A hole through the central chimney and base indicates authentic functionality.
