Part 31 Revealing Mystery Moulds I Found on Gumtree

- This is the series where I reveal what is inside these pottery moulds I found on Gumtree.
The story goes, I found a listing on gumtree for pottery stuff. When I arrived the seller said 'I have all these pottery moulds would you like them as well?' and I said 'why not'. On the way home, I had the brain child to do a social media video series revealing what each mould is.
The mystery is in the fact that I had no idea what I had said yes to, some of the moulds are labelled and easy to tell but some of them are a little more difficult. The beauty is that all of the plaster moulds surprise you no matter the presentation of labels, titles or identifiable surface inside.
So come join me as I dive into this series and share the mould fun. I would love to hear any information you may have on the moulds and to let me know any stories you have that the moulds remind you of in the comments.
Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!
Heaps of love,

So this is months later so you might not see it BUT, for those that are curious:
This dress looks a lot like a Georgian-era English Court Debut style dress.
Tradititionally, these dresses had a really long train as they were intended for presentations to the Queen. In order to actually be able to walk around in them before and after their 'big moment' a court attendart would carefully gather the train behind her and then loop it in neat folds over her arm and it would look almost exactly like this. :)
I don't think she is a bride, but definitely looks like she is carrying flowers, calla lilies maybe? Perfect work as always. 💌
YES! perfect! I had no idea really! I just left it and hoped CZcams would have the answers I needed!
That was my moms wedding flowers ❤️
You can actually see the storks. Nicely spotted. (somehow she looks pregnant lol)
While it was being painted, I thought, "Tulips!" but another comment thinks it IS the train of the dress being held. Yet another comment says it is called "Joan" & she may have flowers. I c/p'd the comments below. I think it would be great to use that space to customize it with different flowers or other items, tho :)

Quick search comes up with just a name of Joan for this mold, according to Alberta's price list. In their catalog, it looks like she's holding a bouquet of flowers. Was also surprised that a panther figure I've owned for a while was in their catalog.
She reminds me of these birthday girls that were popular in the 70's and 80's. The place on her arm could be where they would put a fancy number for the year. The ones I'm thinking of are sized to fit the age, and they are all in this kind of fancy dress.
You did a great job on this! I liked the idea of putting the holes in the skirt and making it like a tea light. You could make it a night light and put in a low watt bulb to be safer than the flame. Especially if it's going to little ones.
Love this series! ❤️
Oh amazing! This is the kind of response I wanted to read about! SO fascinating learning about where the pieces are from and what they were intended for! I like the idea of a lamp too! Its large enough for a small bulb!
I know exactly what you are talking about. Our local jewelry store sold them! They were babies all the way to like... 20? 21?
They could have been Lefton, Esesco, Josef Originals… a lot of companies did them but those are the major contenders. Especially for that time period. 😁👍🏻
Yea light sounds a fab idea
Those girls are still extremely popular in the vintage community!
I think she’s a birthday girl mold. They carry their birth month flower, and the molds are kinda generic so you can paint (or add on) the relevant flower bloom for the month. (The dresses are normally painted in the birthstone color for the month.) I used to “collect” them (ie was given) as a youngster in the 80s.
My grandmother gave me one every year til I was 16 :)

I was going to suggest that it looks like its a bouquet with trailing ribbons. Maybe you are supposed to glue artificial flowers there for her?
It's so like Cinderella... It looks like she is holding a bouquet of flowers, but still... I loved all of your final products ☺️
Yes I totally did not get that at all but can totally see it now! Thank you!!
I think it is flowers as well. The figure is beautiful.
I still like when your friend picks/cleans the mold and we're all surprised. 🤣 😁
It is pretty good! It is hard to get a friend out here most of the time hehe!
Adorable! She definitely was holding flowers in her arms but your interpretation worked out just fine. Another idea for her is a southern belle, you could add some florals and lace to her dress to really change her up. Love how you did get face ❤️
There is a cerramics artist Jessica Harrison who creates series of altered porcelain figurines, they all look primly dressed but with fabulous tattoos 🌸
A Belle, or a Sleeping beauty would be fun! You've got tons of princesses to do now. :)
Absolutely! So many ideas hehe!
@@ShelbySherritt I agree. A collection of Disney princesses would be so cute!
it looks like a flat anchor point for a floral bouquet. maybe clay flowers, or if you had a magnet and hot glue you could make alternating bouquets on a felt backing 💕
Yes it totally does! It is really flat and thats why I was confused on what to do with it or what its intention was!
OOOOhhhhh. This is amazing!!! She DOES look like Belle. The piece of fabric could be a train or cape.
I totally think so! Maybe a Disney princess collection is required to happen! Hehe yes a coat could be it too!
this looks like the angles/girls I used to get for my birthday from my grandpa. each one had a fancy dress and a number. as they went up in age they'd get bigger and fancier.
I had them too. I called them “growing up girls”. I thought that was the official name but maybe I just made it up myself lol.
They are really pretty -- I would love to see you decorate the skirts with your flower designs!
Absolutely! I didn’t do it this week because sometimes it’s nice to do a simple design and I also don’t want to burn out doing new things every week!
I have a friend who also hates using kiln stilts; she swears by wax resist instead.
Also had to say, this mold could also pass for Snow White. Plus you already have the raccoons and skunks, so you just need to repurpose a couple fairies as dwarves and you're set 😆
Exactly!
These are so cute, but I’m pretty partial to figurines. They remind me of Florence ceramic figurines, very sweet and soft. If you made more, you could put holes in her dress and maybe create a tea light where the candle light would shine through the holes.
What a fantastic idea! That would be truly stunning!!
Love this idea!
Looks like you could add tiny, raised flowers to the bouquet "shelf" - roses, calla lillies and etc. - either ceramic ones if molds come that small or plastic ones from the craft store.
This figurine was SO ADORABLE 😍😍😍 she reminds me of all the quinceañeras I grew up attending 🥰🥰🥰 the tables would always have these figurines as part of the centerpiece decorations
I'm spending the morning binge watching this series of videos. I love a surprise.
It looks like Cinders is definitely holding a big, flat bouquet of flowers 💐
She’s carrying a bouquet of flowers. Very lovely.
love it, i will make it into a piggyback with a sloth in the back, just cause i personally like things to serve a purpose not just to look pretty hahaha
Yes I totally agree! I literally had this conversation yesterday about how I prefer things to have a purpose and an intention so that goes into a lot of the decision to recreate some of these moulds! I am more likely to recreate something that serves some form of purpose or fulfils a need rather than making figurines just for the sake of them existing!
She's holding her gloves! You can see the fingers of the gloves in the front.
I love your series! Good job! 💙
I agree, it's definitely meant to be gloves and not flowers.
I agree as well...totally gloves!
I went to Alberta's website, downloaded the catalog and found her ... and she's supposed to be holding a bouquet of flowers that are tied in a long ribbon. 🥰
AMAZING! Yes I did a quick google search after this video posted and found an image of her! I should have done that at the start but I don't want the example piece to influence my creative process!
@@ShelbySherritt I do t blame you. I wouldn't want preconceptions either. Maybe after doing my own thing, but not before. 🥰
Ok I went and found it. I like yours so much better!!!
@@daphnesimpson7498 me too!
The extra fabric definitely looks like a shull of some sort, perhaps it's a fur shawl? We would sometimes be sewn into the dresses in the period that this doll looks like she's from.
This mould is fun, I think there are a ton of different styles to paint this figure. Some patterns on the dress could be fun, different kinds of bouquets. I personally like goth stuff, so painting her dress black or maybe keeping her mostly white as a beautiful ghost lady would be so cool!
Turn her into wednesday addams
I could be wrong, but I think she might be holding a bouquet of flowers. It looks like stems or something at the bottom and maybe the top is flat so you can decide what flowers?
agreed
Or a singular. It's almost shawl like. As if it's cloth wrapped.
@@EmoSophieRawR I found the box image and you are right, they show the sample with some silk flowers glued on to the shelf part.
Wow that’s so interesting! No wrong answers here! I was really stumped because I was painting it and just going with the flow! I don’t like to look the moulds up before I paint them as I don’t want that to direct my creativity! But so cute! I need to look it up now to see the flowers examples!
@Laura Settle I found it too!!!! I hope too excited . So it's flowers and ribbons going down the skirt
What a sweet piece, I’ve always loved Cinderella! 😊👸🏼It almost looks like she should be holding a little bouquet in her arm! 💐 I feel like it’s a very Rococo themed piece and you could really make it quite opulent if you ever give it another go!
YES! I don't know why I couldn't visualise a bouquet of flowers there but now posting this I wish I could have asked before sharing!! Thank you so much!
Very pretty! Except I'm fairly sure she was holding a bouquet of flowers that you missed. I think this would make fabulous night light too if you carve right through the dress area. Maybe simple holes but I can see using maybe some kind of clay cutter shapes like butterflies, stars or hearts. I'd go with a simple led bulb inside. Might be even better if you could get color changing lights inside but that would be expensive. Alternatively, a simple led tea light would work too.
Actually, if you could come up with a plate that fits the bottom it could even be one of those cone incense burners, but I (of course) would make sure to note that those wouldn't be appropriate for children (because common sense isn't as common as the name suggests, lol).
BTW, I love the pants you were wearing when you pulled out the mold at the beginning. 😁
I have been binging this series! It's so fun to watch. Thank you for sharing 💙💙💙
She is beautiful ❤️ I'd love to see a floral clown if you ever decide to revisit it
Yes I think I might do a collection of princesses if there are no more moulds like this one!
I love that you are doing this series! It’s fun to see you create things outside of your usual style, as well as incorporating your style into pieces you wouldn’t usually do (like the coral seal or flower crab). It’s also nice to see pieces like this that were so popular before, this would be so nostalgic for some people!
Yay, thank you! I like this part too! It has been amazing reviving vintage pieces, bringing nostalgia alive and connecting in new ways that my usual art wouldn't have reached before the series too!
The finish is absolutely beautiful
Those came out so beautifully! When I was little, I would have loved to have that as a money box!
Would love it if you could include any pictures of the originals or the website details so people can see the difference between your interpretations and original
We love this one! And your two biggest fans from Brooklyn, NY (E-9 and P-6) think she's holding a shawl in her arms.
HEHEH love you guys! So happy you liked this one!
Well done Shelby! She looks brilliant
Thank you so dang much!
It *would* be neat to see a series "inspired by" Disney Princesses. (Yeah I'm watching again... I usually watch this twice, once myself and once with my partner. 😍)
YES AMAZING! Love this idea so much!
That is a beautiful figurine and so beautifully done to look like Cinderella! But......KOOKABURRA!! Oh my stars you are SO clever - such a finely detailed figurine and that cutie pie Kookaburra too!
It's a crinoline lady, there lots of different designs here in the UK, the main potteries Royal Doulton, Denby, and Wade all had their own specific designs in their own specific painting styles.
Thank you for a very enjoyable and incredibly lazy (on my part) weekend of binge watching your channel. I can’t believe I actually got through all of your videos but I enjoyed it so much that I needed to see what the next reveal would be, like I was watching my fav show on Netty!! Look forward to season 3 next week 😉 👏🏻 🥳
WOW! You make my heart all warm and gooey! Thank you so much for this lovely comment it made me so happy and I am so happy you are enjoying it and loving each episode hehe! I am just here having some fun and making content I would love to watch so you are fabulous for being here!
They lifted up some fabric and held it so they wouldn't trip when they danced. Later on the dress makers added decorative buttons so they wouldn't have to hold the material. Two hands free. The dress reminds me of early antibellom dresses.
There are stems at the bottom of what is in her right arm -you are to form flowers on the “rectangular bit”-by adding bits of clay in flowerlike shapes
I just saw a yt shorts of u wer u made a tiny heels & called it "fingershooo", I just luved u, made a big wide smile on my face & I knew I wanted more of ur videos in my life ! So here I am😉
AWWHH WOW thank you so much for the love and support! THANK YOU for coming here! Not many people make the effort to search and find the original creator and give them the support so thank you for doing that! It means so much!
The fabric over her arm could be a shawl. Good painting
I'm obsessed these are so lovely!
Thank you so much for the love!
Oh I am dying!! These are spectacular!! Well Done Shelby!!!!
Thank you so dang much! This is so kind of you to say!
These are so stinking cute!!! Even the make-up is perfect and I love the gloss too!!!💘
Thank you so dang much!
@@ShelbySherritt You're very welcome, talented girl!!🤗
She looks like a figurine you would use to commemorate a Sweet Sixteen or a Quinceñiera. She looks like she could be a cake topper or a party favor/keepsake. I could also see her used as a birthday figurine, especially if you added elements of the month's birthstone and flower.
Looks lovely well done!!
Thank you so much!
Oh I love this mold so much!!
As creepy as it was, this makes me want to see you do the clown too. 😂
YES! So do I! I need that new kiln stat!
She turned out beautifully!
Thank you Pam!
The fabric she is carrying is the train of the dress, in the era when ball gowns with train were worn, they would pull the train to the front and carry it when walking around, especially outside so it wouldn’t drag on the ground and get overly dirty.
This reminds me of Ma’s China shepherdess from The Little House on the Prairie!
They look amazing! You did such a wonderful job! I loved Anastasia growing up, so much so that if I ever have a daughter it'll somehow be incorporated into her name. I now can't wait to see an Anastasia inspired piece come from you lol.
Also just to add Disney owns Anastasia now (Fox 20th Century used to) so she's sort of a Disney princess lol.
Thank you so much! I didn't know that so thats so cool! Anastasia is such a beautiful name!
I like the idea of painting the like Disney princesses as long as you don't have any more molds
that actually lean that way. Because you can paint them in the colors of the Disney princesses that actually wore ball gown. I like the idea of a night light maybe even cutting small hearts or stars in the skirt to let the light out from underneath. Or even turning them into coin banks for little girls rooms.
I think the cloth is a shawl type of thing; that’s what they wear where I’m from for those types of events. Also: absolutely want to see a Belle & other fun ideas! Ones from your imagination!! & yes a clown. I’d probably buy a clown not gonna lie lol😂
nawwh she's pretty! you could potentially do a lot of the older Disney princesses from this, as a lot of the earlier ones look very similar. you could even do Ariel in her human form as she has a big green and/or blue floofy dresses too! 🥰☁️
I can see a princess collection coming hahaha! So many resemblances!
Gosh that blue!!! Great job!!
Thank you so much! Its a stunning finish!
Turned out great Shelby! 💙
Thank you so much!!!
Magnificent job on those!
This could also be an adorable tree topper angel.
I swear my grandma had this exact figurine! She was wearing a green dress and has auburn hair :) I'm pretty sure she's holding flowers, but I can't remember if they were dried or fake or what. It was painted in acrylic, not glaze though
Cinderella is my favorite!
wow the colours and glaze really brought her to life!
It really did! I was nervous to start with!
Another way to do the fabric is to after bisque firing the base colour you can paint a watered down deeper shade over the fabric and sponge the colour off leaving some in the crevases I wipe across the piece not down
Yes love this technique I have done it a few times on other pieces! I am actually thinking about doing it on next weeks mould hehe ;)
I did not get a good look at the mold was there not another small pour hole that could be the flowers to add on
When I was younger they would paint them colors of the different birthday months. They are just cute little shelf things for girls.
The part she's holding in her arms looks like it was supposed to be a flower bouquet, but for some reason the tops of the flowers have no carved details. However it definitely looks as though there were stems flowing down with trailing ribbons.
She is beautiful- I agree she is holding long stemmed flowered- possibly roses??
It’s like one of those Royal Doulton ladies. Which I find completely pointless. I thought Cinderella too. I also thought the opposite too. Bride of Dracula? A really spooky one. 👍🏻👍🏻🌟🌟😊😊
Yes! Its very Disney Princess, love it :)
I've also binged watched all of these over the last 2 days haha, now I'm caught up it seems
Oh my gosh thank you so much for your love and support! This means so dang much!
@@ShelbySherritt of course! I've been loving these videos theyre so relaxing honestly
So cute!!
Oh, I found her in Alberta’s online catalog as suggested by someone in the comments. It is a bouquet she needs in the crook of her arm. I guess you have to make the flowers. Oh, that would be perfection. She also has a flower in her hair near her left ear. Shelby, you did a great job painting her. She’s your princess. But … I was raised with Barbie v Disney princesses. I think you gave her Barbie’s eyes. I suppose she’s the princess we each were looking for. She matches our own ideal.
You could cut out the cloth or flower blank space and make a vase, it would be really interesting.
Oh love this idea! This youtube community is amazing! I cant believe how creative you all are! This idea is wonderful! i might have to give it a go!
Very pretty. Looks like she is holding her gloves.
Reminds me of meg in little women when she gets gussied up by the other girls. It looks like has a shawl on,but could be for a bouquet of flowers made out of 3d petals.
Oh I love this reference! Thank you!
Anastasia was my favourite too!! I have it on VHS. I had to google it because I thought it was Disney too. However, I did learn that Disney now own it. :)
Kicking myself for guessing the Disney castle 😂
These came out beautifully 😍
WAS THAT YOU? I was like oh no don't let them know they are onto me hahahaha!
@@ShelbySherritt yes that was me!
The mould was better than my guess though!
Turned out great
Thank you!
Hey. I have a nightlight that looks very much like this! It was my grandmothers. Mine is thin enough that the light kit inside shone thru the porcelain
I get a weird deja vu feeling watching this. Someone in my past must have had something like this. Kind of reminded me of the Josef birthstone figures
It looks like the Royal Doulton figurines, my Nana had a collection
My grandmother had one of these, along with a little boy - so she might be part of a set.
My grandmother's figurine was carrying wheat 🤍
Just to add - the boy had a bucket if I remember correctly 😄
This is not what I was expecting from the teaser on IG lol! I was thinking it might be a teapot to match the cups from last mold
Right!? I did not expect it at all! The dress is so floofy and big!
My grandma had this mold. She would paint the dresses in the color of the gemstone of birthday for the person who was going to get it.
The thing she is holding is flower stems. The ribbon from ge front merges a bit with the stems but it us ment for you to glue on flowers as a bouquet.
In addition to Belle or Anastasia, Tiana would also work, with a pretty green dress!
I think it is like a scarf or a shoulder drap or its fur like fox or or so. It could also be a long train from the dress.
Makes me think of Princess Sofia too.
Its a train for the formal ballgown, think bell from beauty and beast reference century. It was often held whilst dancing and released when stationary.
@shelbysherritt why not have your studio assistant clean and band the moulds then you cast them and paint them. then it would keep the mystery for you as well.
I searched the mold online, there's a painted example of it...and those are definitely flowers.
So beautiful 🥰
She is stunning!
Thank you so much!
Personally thinking more gone with the wind than Cinderella but it came out pretty.
I get Cinderella but I see more of a princess Belle with that dress style. 👗Beautiful
She looks lovely! I think it looks like she has her gloves resting over her arm... but I'm not sure
I wasn't sure either! Thank you so much!!
Could you add a slit where her arm is holding the fabric, to make her a penny bank? beautiful work btw!
It has a sort of gone with the wind, southern belle type feel to me? I think she’s holding a bouquet of flowers like she just picked them from her garden or something. Very pretty either way
They definitely look like flower stems that’s she’s holding, maybe try one with some flowers and see what it looks like. Good gob though and perfect for little girls/boys that like Disney princesses. 😊
Yes it definitely does! I wondered whether it was for something or another mould! Nonetheless it looks very sweet!
@@ShelbySherritt could you free form some flowers to make it more 3D ?
