Simple Style: Porcelain Glove Molds

August 27, 2007

I'm always coming across porcelain glove molds in antiques stores, junk shops, and flea markets. These handy finds, originally used for making gloves, are very versatile accent pieces. You can use them to display jewelry and other trinkets, or screw them into the bathroom wall to serve as clever towel racks. Or, you can simply display them alongside other pottery, as in this home I saw featured on Apartment Therapy San Francisco.

i love stuff like this - repurposing things makes for great decor! i haven't seen any of these myself, but i like the look of them.

I have one of this, I use it to hold my bangles and fake pearl necklaces. They are a cute way of displaying items on the dresser.

Yeah, I find them creepy, too. I've never been a fan of things that resemble human body parts.

I need little white vases like these. Anyone have an idea where to look? I can do without the glove!

I thought I was going to be the only one who found these glove molds a mite creepy.

I love these glove molds. I have quite a few of them. One comes from a black wall by the toilet and holds my toilet tissue. The red beaded bracelet on it makes it less creepy and more fun.
