Two small copper molds in the shape of crabs

Description

Fish and crab shapes were particularly popular. They could be used to shape a wide variety of dishes, not only fish dishes. Since the molds were small and the food needed time to solidify, there were often several copies of the same mold so that one could work quickly.
