Greetings!  Ivan Day has some "fancy pies" on his website
(historicfood.com).  With one of them is a carved wooden mould to produce
leaves which are placed as decoration on the lids.  That would be a fast
way for non-artistic types to produce quality decorations in quantity.  He
also shows some  metal tins for making the decorative sides.  I think these
are from the mid-1600s and later.
