Pie Birds or  Pie Funnels as they are called in England are varying sized "steam vents" that have been placed in the center of  fruit and meat pies (while cooking) since Victorian Times.....surely you can remember your Grannie having one?..
Pie birds were once little kitchen gadgets, rarely costing much over £1 ($5.) But in the past 10 to 15 years, collecting has reached such proportions that many new 'birds' are on the market, not necessarily masquerading as the old ones, but as collectables in their own right.
More serious collectors prefer genuinely old ones but as the interest in ceramics over the years has progressed, collectors are now beginning to appreciate the handmade unusual ones just for the sake of collecting.

Happy Hunting!  Enter site

Pie Funnels mass produced from molds bought in, are in the low end of that range, whilst more elaborate and detailed ones by certain makers are obviously more expensive. English made pie birds are generally preferred, although some collectors specialize in certain makers, prices can be in the hundreds for rare "birds," now in modern times they have been produced in a multitude of shapes and sizes.
Displayed in your home, they will be a true "conversation piece". bird02.jpg (3522 bytes)
