French Vintage Restaurant Ham Press, Farmhouse Kitchen Pate Mould (C44)

This unusual piece of French vintage kitchenalia is a ham press from a French restaurant in the shape of a pig. This was bought from a traditional French brocante market and is used to press liquid out of ham as part of the making process, it could also be used as a pate or terrine press. These are usually in a rectangular or oval shape, this pig shaped one is quite unusual. The top is used to press down the meat in stages using the graduated heights on the brackets of the lid. These side handles are actually designed to be stood on in order to press down the lid as far as possible. This is made from aluminium and would look great in any farmhouse style kitchen or French restaurant, equally useful as a prop or for decoration. This is A USED ITEM IN A USED CONDITION with signs of its 50+ years in a French restaurant as shown in the pictures which form part of the description. It is not always possible to show every minor scratch on a photo so if you are looking for new then this may not be for you. Any significant flaws are always highlighted in both photos and descriptions.
