| Description : | A small tin cookie cutter in the shape of an uneven four leaf clover . |
| Fonctions : | The first evidence of cookie cutters were found in Mesopotamia and Egypt were in the form of ceramic moulds. There were also illustrations showing people making pastries using round cutters. The use of wooden stamp cutting moulds were popular in Germany during the Late Middle Age period and eventually made their way across North America during European settlement. Tin cookie cutters did not appear until the 16th Century when tinsmiths began using left over pieces of tin from other projects. The Industrial Revolution allowed for the mass production of the cookie cutter and in its various forms; in 1869 the first catalogue was produced showing the different shapes the cookie cutters were made in. (information taken from 'A short history of cookie cutters' by Silvana de Soissons www.silvanadesoissons.com/short-history-cookie-cutters/). Item most likely used by either Naomi or Mary Harris. Although the Harris family had help for general domestic duties of cleaning and cooking the Harris women were very active in kitchen and enjoyed making desserts and collecting recipes. |
