Ingredient One via Fruit Cookie Cutters (Boxed Set of 7)
Ingredient One (retailer: via) · Kitchenware > Baking Tools & Cookie Cutters
Era / Decade
Early 2000s (approx. 2005-2010). Modern packaging design and font choices indicate a late-millennium or early 21st-century timeline.
Material
Tin-plated steel or stainless steel. The cutters have a classic rolled-edge top to protect fingers and a sharp bottom edge for clean cuts. The material appears reflective and professional-grade.
Condition
Very Good. The item is in its original box, though the box is open. There is visible sticker residue on the top of the plastic acetate cover. The metal cutters themselves appear bright and without rust or oxidation.
Demand Level
Moderate. Cookie cutters are a steady niche, but seasonal demand peaks in spring (summer fruit themes) and during wedding/shower season.

Set of 7 high-quality metal fruit-shaped cookie cutters by Ingredient One. Includes classic silhouettes for strawberry, banana, pear, watermelon, and three other tropical/orchard fruits. These deep-profile cutters are perfect for thick sugar cookies or fondant work. They come in their original display tray with a decorative sleeve.
Key Features
Includes 7 distinct shapes; wide range of fruit types (tropical and orchard); original retail packaging present; modern 'clean' aesthetic that fits well in current kitchen decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Clear logo branding for 'Ingredient One' and 'via' on the sleeve. Printing quality is high-resolution. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Sticker residue on the front plastic cover; box has light edge wear; acetate lid may have surface scratches from storage; set is open, so cutters should be washed thoroughly before use.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Mercari. These platforms are best for small, lightweight kitchen gadgets. Facebook Marketplace is an option but might not be worth the meeting time for a lower-value item unless bundled.
Selling Tips
Remove the sticker residue using a tiny amount of Goo Gone or rubbing alcohol on the plastic lid. Use 'Summer Party,' 'Fruit Theme,' and 'Foodie Gift' in the title. Ship via USPS Ground Advantage or a padded flat-rate envelope to keep costs low. Taking a photo of the side profile to show the depth of the metal will help buyers know the quality.
