A family heirloom

Spent the weekend at mums celebrating her non-birthday (she's a Feb 29th gal..) and almost grabbed her arm off when she asked if I'd like this shortbread mould that she'd found when tidying a cupboard. She thinks it came to her from possibly an auntie but wasnt sure. It looks so lovely I want to try and make some shortie in it but Im also scared I might break it... Decisions....

PS it's Raisley not Paisley although I'm informed that Brown & Poulson were a Paisley company so that's possibly why they use the name for the raising agent!
