Alpine milk and white chocolate with hazelnuts

Traditional knowledge

This form shows six bottles (or small carafes/containers) in a row. The bottles are grooved or braided, which was often used on wine or liqueur bottle figurines to make them appear more decorative. It is a single plate with six indentations. Such molds were typically used to cast half-figures or flat reliefs, which were either sold like this or used as an insert for a chocolate box. It is made of metal, probably tinplate or a similar material, which is typical of historical German chocolate molds from the late 19th or early 20th century. Unfortunately, the embossing can no longer be deciphered.
