Rice Cake Mold
A small glazed porcelain piece resembling a cake stand. The top is detailed with a carved pattern that would imprint the rice cake being molded on it.<br /> <br /> Rice cake stamps are used to impress designs upon rice cakes.

Patterns, carved or raised, on the stamp vary from geometric lines to auspicious designs that wish for prosperity and longevity. Their small size makes them highly portable, while their simple yet contemporary designs have mad them popular among collectors. The University of Michigan Museum of Art collection includes nine white porcelain rice cake stamps. Some are gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Hasenkamp, and others are gifts from Ok Ja Chang and the Chang family.<br /> <br /> Glaze has been removed from the foot rim, on which fine sand spur marks remain.<br /> <br /> [Korean Collection, University of Michigan Museum of Art (2014)
