Caption
Pyramid moulds were used in table decorations from the 16th to the 19th centuries to create elaborate centrepieces of marzipan, sugar paste, butter, ice cream and jelly. The fashion for colourful jellies took hold during the Victorian period when moulds were typically Wedgwood creamware or, as seen in these examples in the collection at Speke Hall, copper.
