Description: This is beautiful just as something to set around even if you never intend to use it. It has a gorgeous patina. Imagine all the flowers that were actually made with this. This is a 3 piece that has the cutter. To use a cutter you'll need a heavy mallet. It's not like cutting out cookies! But I know they could cut out several layers of fabric at once. The bottom brass part has a crack. Who knows how long that crack has been there. I don't think it will affect normal use. This mold was likely in production for a long time and used over and over. You're not likely to make these on the same industrial scale! This one looks makes a flat applique that is complete as it is. No need to construct a flower with petals and leaves. This would have been used flat and sewn on to a hat or piece of clothing. The top part is made of cast iron and has a wood handle. The entire length including handle is 7 inches. The bottom is about 2 1/4 inches by 2 1/2 with one inch deep of solid brass or bronze. The cutter is almost 5 1/2inches tall. Set weighs about 4 pounds. This is quite usable and you could actually cut and form a rose today exactly how it was done years ago.Cut the fabric of your choice (velvet or cotton). Heat the brass piece. Just placing it on a griddle or stove top and warming it a bit will do. Put some liquid starch on the cut out piece and place it between the top and bottom and press. If you have some way of clamping it tightly it will help. Remove and let dry.Wonderful also just for display. This is a serious well-made tool set.
