Especially in France and Germany, where there is a strong tradition of confectionery making, simple yet beautiful manual work was performed, such as melting chocolate, pouring it into molds to cool, and adding pralines, nuts, or liqueurs. However, making chocolate itself from cocoa beans was too specialized and rarely done at home. It was common to melt and use commercially available confectionery chocolate (such as couverture). In the 18th-19th centuries, cocoa was a luxury import for the aristocracy and wealthy. As a drink (hot chocolate), it was also a symbol of privilege. In the latter half of the 19th century, the industrial revolution led to mass imports of cocoa and advancements in manufacturing technology. Chocolate became \"solidified\" and established as a confectionery. In the early to mid-20th century, industrialization made chocolate bars and bonbons accessible to the common people. They were particularly prized as part of feasts on holidays. In this way, as time progressed, chocolate permeated households as a \"special occasion confection.\" These chocolate molds are highly likely to have been for home use or small confectionery shops around the 1920s-1940s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e※Based on AI research.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42758903038036,"sku":"R070126","price":22000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_701ce6d2-4f57-4b6a-b8d6-eebb9d559c56.jpg?v=1765628032"},{"product_id":"geka-cast-iron-green-bean-cutter-antique","title":"GEKA Cast Iron Hand-Cranked Green Bean Cutter - An Antique Kitchen Tool with Imposing Industrial Beauty -","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA cutting tool can be this beautiful.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis item is believed to be an antique green bean cutter (vegetable slicer) featuring a heavy cast iron body, a hand crank, and a clamp for table mounting.

Electric cooking appliances were nonexistent or very expensive, so tools that could be used manually in a \"stable, uniform, and safe\" manner were highly valued.

Consequently, meat often became very tough if roasted whole. Mincing served practical purposes: it made muscle and toughness less noticeable, made cooking easier, and made meat more palatable. In ordinary households of the time, meat was an expensive food item, and almost no part of it was discarded. Scraps, sinews, and fat were all utilized.

Japanese planes have a thick blade, fixed to the body with a wedge, and are relatively lightweight. The blade angle is typically around 38-42 degrees, making it suitable for delicate cutting. The pulling motion allows the blade to engage the wood stably, and force can be concentrated along the body's centerline, providing very high control. The tradition of working at a low height, close to the floor, in Japan, made the act of pulling backward natural, which was a major reason why pull-planing became mainstream. Furthermore, in a culture that worked with relatively soft woods like hinoki and sugi, precise finishing techniques that produce extremely thin shavings developed. On the other hand, Western planes are designed to cut by pushing. The blade is relatively thin, typically combined with a chip breaker (cap iron), and the body is heavy. The standard blade angle is about 45 degrees, designed to handle hard hardwoods. The pushing motion allows body weight to be placed forward, enabling stable, long strokes while suppressing vibrations with the tool's weight. In the West, work is done at a workbench set at chest to hip height, making the forward-pushing motion natural, and this working environment greatly influenced tool development. Thus, Japanese planes can be described as \"lightweight, precise, pull-tools controlled from the body's center,\" while Western planes are \"push-tools that use weight and body mass for stability.\" Neither is inherently superior; they represent different evolutions optimized for their respective woods, working postures, and historical contexts. This difference is not just about the direction of planing, but reflects the very difference in woodworking culture itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e※Based on AI research.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977055866964,"sku":"R080225","price":16500.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_10f4e840-3822-476c-b045-ced01f5c04a1.jpg?v=1772108092"},{"product_id":"antique-uk-jack-plane-430mm-cast-steel-r080226","title":"British Antique Jack Plane 430mm Wooden Body with Grip WARRANTED CAST STEEL Blade 19th Century Vintage Woodworking Tool","description":"\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA craftsman's companion for straightening long stock\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA British traditional jack plane, timeless and enduring\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an antique wooden jack plane from the UK, estimated to be from the late 19th to early 20th century.

The blade bears the engravings \"WARRANTED\" and \"CAST STEEL,\" indicating its use of high-quality steel at the time. The luster of the wood, indentations, and the texture of the metal due to age tell a story of its long history of actual use. More than just a tool, this is a symbol of British woodworking culture.

The word \"jack\" refers to someone who can do anything, and true to its name, it developed as a versatile plane for a wide range of uses, from roughing to intermediate finishing. In 19th-century Britain and Europe, it was common practice to first flatten warps and twists in wood with a jack plane, and then perform final adjustments with a finishing smoothing plane. Wooden-bodied jack planes are a traditional form used since before the Industrial Revolution, providing stable planing due to their weight and length. Many were manufactured, primarily in Sheffield, UK, and were routinely used by carpenters and cabinetmakers of the time. The length of 430mm is not mere coincidence. Jack planes are generally designed to be around 14-18 inches (approx. 350-460mm), and this item's 430mm is indeed a standard \"practical size.\" A long plane has significant meaning. Shorter planes tend to follow the undulations of the wood more easily, while longer planes tend to \"shave only the higher parts.\" In other words, a long body has the function of correcting warps, straightening material, and flattening large surfaces. The 430mm length is a dimension carefully considered for its balance of practicality and maneuverability, being \"long enough to correct distortions, yet easy to handle.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e※Based on AI research.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42977495908436,"sku":"R080226","price":26400.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_9eb65854-2b70-4b4c-a5e6-b9bd15e6e767.jpg?v=1772108913"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/collections\/i-sorby-sheffield-screw-auger_0.jpg?v=1770534318","url":"https:\/\/adhocstore.com\/en\/collections\/tools-kitchenware-antique.oembed","provider":"ADHOCストアー","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
