There is a well-defined pineapple in this circa 1840 English ironstone mold, with uncharacteristic leaves covering its base. The pineapple was a highly prized fruit at the time, grown in the greenhouse, presented at the center of one's dessert table, and rented out to friends to recover some of the costs of producing the exotic fruit. The mold was used for jelly rather than steamed puddings. It measures 4-1/4 by 3 inches across the top and 2-1/8 inches tall, and is in mint condition.
