These little canape cutters came in today. Tin, not pewter. See the quarter to get an idea of how tiny they are. German, c.1910. See ya! Fayette

Your canape cutters are not for canapes, but for cutting pieces of jelled aspic to surround a delicious pate on a platter. A jumble of adorably little shaped chicken or wine flavored jellies is still a nice accompaniment to a good pate. The cutters are mentioned usually in some of the older cookbooks that are heavy on european cooking techniques. This size and some of these shapes are included in a small tin of cutters sold currently at Williams Sonoma. They are cute, they may be older, but recent ones sell for about $12.

Hi Jane! Could you explain this please? The tin has a seam in it. Oh....and I now believe it was for cutting little cakes and pies. Thanks! Fayette

There are canape cutters in larger sizes as well. Does your cookbook show how big the 'canape cutters' are? I am sure you can cut anything you like with them and by the way, a well made aspic can be good. Guess the taste is
