A magnificent find, this antique is as gorgeous as it is rare. Gleaming copper baking moulds are difficult to come by. The moulds are often used for baba cakes, which is a European dessert usually only served on special occasions.
This mould was crafted in Boutenac-Touvent in the Poitou-Charentes region in southwestern France. It is stamped with “BT Touvent” to mark the vessel’s origin.
Professional chefs prize copper for its incredible performance in the kitchen and its beautiful appearance, so it’s no wonder this well-loved mould is such a treasure for bakers and aficionados.
We discovered this collector’s item in a charming Parisian flea market. Its quality craftsmanship adds to the splendor of the antique, making it the perfect embellishment for the cook’s abode.
Show off this French copper columns mould in an area of the home where its beauty can shine and be appreciated. Prop it above kitchen cabinets or on a shelf with a vignette of other cherished baking utensils.
Due to the delicate nature of this antique, we do not recommend it for use with food. Made in France.
Web exclusive: this product is only available online. All antique sales are final; no exchanges or returns.

Inspired by the history and traditions of classic European cuisine, Sur La Table was born from the art and soul of cooking. From our beginnings in Pike Place Market, where tools and cookware shimmer from the rafters, our influence and ideas have come from kitchens all around the world. That’s why we’re pleased to introduce this new collection of handpicked treasures that represent our European heritage.
Throughout the year, we make pilgrimages to Europe and immerse ourselves in the culture of everything culinary. One of our favorite locales is the Marche aux Puces St-Ouen, a famous flea market tucked away in the northern fringes of Paris. That is where we find many of the rarest antiques that serve as our muses and remind us of Sur La Table’s roots.
Drenched in rich history, these are the things that inspire us, and we want to share them with you in hopes they inspire you as well. We consider this collection to be objets d’art with one-of-a-kind charisma that cannot be mimicked. Welcome these vintage heirlooms into your home and display the pure beauty of a classic piece from France.
