6 dealers for antique & vintage kitchenalia

The Antique Kitchen

Mikki Towler is based in Norfolk and sells beautiful pieces of treen – bread knives, butter stamps, egg racks and spice containers – alongside useful kitchen storage jars, tins and tea caddies. The Instagram account is a delight to follow and browse, too. theantiquekitchen.co.uk; @theantiquekitchen

Appleby Antiques

Mike and Sue sell from Atlam on London’s Portobello Road, as well as online, and specialise in usable culinary antiques, especially moulds – be they copper, pewter or ceramic – dating from 1750 to 1920. Their Instagram account is also worth a follow for the images of beautiful moulds, not to mention fascinating titbits of food history. applebyantiques.net; @applebyantiques

AntiqueKitchenalia

Seek out the Insta grid of @antiquekitchenalia and you’ll find wonderful white ironstone jars, copper chocolate moulds, herb choppers, dough cutters, and many more curious kitchen items for sale. Also to be found at fairs and markets, including the Antiques & Salvage Market at Cheshire Showground. @antiquekitchenalia

General Store No2

Vivien Brown runs this online store where kitchenalia features heavily. Think bread boards, butter stamps, brass trivets, and egg holders. Our favourites, though, are the wholesale catalogue for Crawford’s Biscuits from 1936, and the little club- shaped Queen Victoria cake tin, which was possibly manufactured to commemorate her Jubilee in 1887. generalstoreno2.co.uk; @generalstoreno.2

Jaspers Antiques & Interiors

Based at Sherborne Antiques Market in Dorset, Jaspers is run by Georgie, who has a particular penchant for kitchenalia. Follow along for stock updates on the Instagram account, where you’ll find cheese dishes, Cornishware pieces, jelly moulds, cake tins – even a Victorian cooling rack. You can also follow Georgie’s buying trips to France, where she has recently bought a farmhouse she’s renovating with her family via @my_frenchfarmhouse. @jaspers_antiquesandinteriors

Neighbour

Residents of (and visitors to) Frome in Somerset are treated to this gorgeous lifestyle store in its recently opened real- life form. If you can’t reach the cobbled street where it resides, fear not, as the online offering is also a treat. Among the Leach pottery mugs and bespoke furniture by sister company Folkhaus, a delightful collection of kitchenalia includes vintage mixing bowls, egg holders, stoneware jugs, bread bins, and copper pans. neighbourutility.com; @neighbourutility
