Antique Redware Twisted Scallop Interior retailer Cake Mold

Here is an antique redware "Turk's Head" cake mold. These were found in many Pennsylvania houses in the 19th century. It is glazed with a molded twisted scallop interior design. It appears in different shades of brown and has a small manufacturing defect along the edge that looks like a chip but it's been glazed over. It also does have a small chip on the other rim side which it has turned dark in color (see pic 4). It measures 3 3/4" high and has a retailer diameter of 10". Besides the chip previously mentioned, there are no cracks or repairs.
