A beautiful and authentic antique blown glass rolling pin in a pretty green hue, designed with a hollow interior that can be filled with iced water through the original end plug. This ingenious 19th to early 20th century baking tool was used to keep dough cool while rolling, particularly for delicate pastries such as pie crusts and biscuits.
Hand-blown with subtle variations and internal striations visible throughout the glass, this piece showcases the craftsmanship and utility of early kitchenware. The elongated cylindrical form with rounded ends is both functional and sculptural, making it equally compelling as a display object in a farmhouse or primitive kitchen setting.
The original plug remains intact, allowing it to still function as intended or simply serve as a conversation piece. Its vibrant green tone adds a striking pop of color, especially when displayed against neutral backgrounds or within a collection of antique culinary tools.
Dimensions:
Length: approximately 17.25 inches
Diameter: approximately 2.25 inches at widest
Historical Note:
Glass rolling pins became popular in the late 19th century, particularly in Europe and America, as bakers sought ways to better control dough temperature. Many were made in England and the United States and are now highly collectible for both their function and decorative appeal.
Styling Tip:
Display on open shelving, in a dough bowl, or alongside copper molds and wooden utensils for a layered, curated kitchen vignette.
