An early 20th century tinned metal jelly or mousse mould.
Jelly on a slate... an enormous collection of over 400 jelly moulds has emerged from the estate of a fanatical collector.
Eccentric Andrew Cottrell dedicated his life to amassing an incredible 430 moulds, which he crammed into a specially dedicated room in his house.
Accumulated throughout his life until his death at the age of 60 in 2015, the selection spans 100 years from the mid 19th century.
Mr Cottrell's collection, worth an estimated £30,000, will be sold by his four sons through Hampshire-based auctioneer Bellmans on July 12.
