Atlantic Mold ?? Ceramic
« on: September 17, 2010, 06:04:23 AM »
Hi there:
Pretty sure this is a ceramic Mold as per what it says on it on.  Looks like it says:  ATLANTIC MOLD then the name of ??Hong Fu or Kong Fu ??

Anyone know about this company?  And I think I might have figured out what was on that bowl of mine that had the VT on it -- I think that says Atlantic Mold on it too.  Just have to find that post (now) too back in the archives....LOL

Would this Green bowl  :mrgreen: here be considered * Majolica * or not.... (??)

Hoooookay, how about this Rose:

Atlantic Molds ceased operation as of July 2001
Their website is archived here:
http://web.archive.org/web/20021124022929/http://www.atlanticmold.com/

where it says that many of their molds were dispersed at their closure to the following companies:
GEM Molds, MACKY Molds, DAC Molds, CINDY'S Ceramics, NORWOOD Molds

So some of their designs have been made after the company closure date, but if yours isn't one of the molds sold on then it must be pre-2001.

This page shows where each mold went to:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030207081625/www.atlanticmold.com/Atlantic-Destinations.htm

And here you'll find all the archived pages of their websites - many of which have images still there so worth a browse through: http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.atlanticmold.com  :cheerleader:

Ahhh think I've found your mold here too:
http://web.archive.org/web/20030330105259/www.atlanticmold.com/Atlantic_catalog/page61.htm
part of a range of fruit and vegetable shapes - mold shape A1760 (11?"  diameter) or A1761 (6?" diameter) depending on size...   :cheerleader:

The listing says
A1760 is a Lettuce Salad Bowl
A1761 is a Lettuce Serving Dish
and these molds went to Macky Molds. http://www.mackymolds.com/
http://www.mackymolds.com/myweb/atlantic-mold/page_31.htm

Colour difference will be due to who actually created your item from the mold - molds were sold to a whole raft of different makers so the same item can appear in many different colours and glazes.
