A genuine 3-piece set of vintage wooden cookie molds used historically in Peranakan (Straits Chinese) Nyonya kitchens to press traditional festive cookies for Lunar New Year and tea-time gatherings. Each mold features hand-carved motifs.
Unlike vintage style decor reproductions, this is an authentic, used antique with genuine signs of use, indentations, and patina from real baking history. It offers a one-of-a-kind story that new decor simply can't replicate.
