Very, very rare chocolat emould featuring a dapper dressed bunny rabbit wearing a Victorian suit and carrying a bag, this bunny is also known as ‘Bavarian Rabbit’ and is one of the most prized chocolate moulds available on the market.

Standing a proud 20cm tall, this mould features the Anton Reiche signature stamp as well as their distributor TC Weygandt, New York. The mould is more suited to display purposes given its age. It is catalog numbered 14743 and is very rare to find!!

Anton Reiche, heralded as the ‘grandfather’ of chocolate moulds, built his original factory in Dresden, Germany producing over 50,000 different mould designs in his catalogs. Reiche dominated the mould market with intricate design, quality metalwork & innovative forging. Reiche employed the world’s best tool-smiths and mold designers until the war when his factory was destroyed by Allied bombing raids.

Value determined by rarity, manufacturer, completeness, matched or married sides, condition and character / story depicted. Intricate, large, unique, unusual moulds not made en-masse so more prized.

Valuable historical museum piece, use French European country cottage kitchen, rustic kitchenalia ornament, art deco themed house, Victorian era decorative home staging or show-homes, make chalkware, wax figurines, sell at market, gift to friends.
