Footnote
Note: Thinly potted pierced moulds were made for shaping and draining sweet curds and creams. Some of the Wedgwood examples have fish or pineapple motifs impressed within them. The smaller shaped creamware moulds, such as the fish examples in this lot, were made to be embedded in sand while the jelly set. Examples were made at Wedgwood, Spode, Leeds, the Downshire Pottery in Belfast, and other places.
