EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Pa. German Butter Mold, created by Henry Zwysen around 1941, showcases the rich cultural heritage of Pennsylvania Dutch decorative arts. The circular mold, measuring approximately 12 inches in diameter, is a beautiful example of functional art from the 1930s and 1940s in America. Decorated with intricate watercolor and graphite on paper, the design is then transferred and meticulously painted onto the wooden mold. The circular shape, with its distinctive raised ridges and detailed floral and geometric patterns, is characteristic of Pa. German and Pennsylvania Colony design. Henry Zwysen, a skilled artist, masterfully captured the essence of this traditional design, creating a piece that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. The mold was used to shape and cool butter, a staple in Pennsylvania Dutch and American kitchens. This Pa. German Butter Mold is an important addition to any collection of decorative arts, and a testament to the enduring influence of Pennsylvania Dutch design on American culture. The mold, now a period item, is a reminder of the rich history and heritage of the Pennsylvania Colony and the Pa. German community. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, showcasing it as part of the Index of American Design. The mold is a reminder of the beauty and significance of the arts and crafts of the past, and a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage.
