Vintage Copper in the Kitchen

I am so glad that we have had a few teaser spring like days even though not today. I am looking forward to working in the yard again. I have been making a few changes in my home for the warmer days ahead. One thing I just happened to get in the mood to do on the day it snowed was to clean my vintage copper collection. Cleaning is a good thing to do on a snowy day, don't you think?

After a little bit of cleaning and polishing I have nice shiny bright copper again.

This is an old photo showing how tarnished they were.

The top mold is a new one I ordered from an etsy shop. You can find some at good prices on etsy. I just googled vintage copper molds and there were several.

 this rooster mold is a fave.

The beautiful fruit mold is the only copper piece I purchased in France and at a great price.

I have several vintage pieces hanging from my pot rack. I found the large tea kettle last fall for only $29. I have seen them for over $100.

This is another mold like the rooster one and look how cute this is.

It's a cute tea or coffee pot. It was tarnished badly and cleaned up nicely. This was found on etsy, too.

I love these old copper measuring cups that Susan of Maple and Magnolia was sweet enough to send me.

Two molds that I have had for awhile hang by the aprons.

This old strainer hangs in this nook.

I used Bar Keeper's Friend cleaner. As soon as you pour some on it lifts the tarnish away. Just rub it all over and rinse and dry. So easy and no polishing or strong odors.

I  have seen prices all over the place for these old molds. I haven't paid more than $60 for any of them and that would have been for one of the larger ones. All the others were much less.
Check out etsy and ebay for the best prices.
