This pie funnel in the shape
of a sheaf of wheat, plain white & no markings.
It's been around the house in various cupboards for years and it was only
when I came across your site that I thought about it. I live in Stoke on Trent
- home of the pottery industry but I have a feeling that this is not a local piece.
Any clues please to it's origin?

identify this little lady please?

Hi,
I'm really new at this at this type of collection, but would like to get
started. I had to hunt through a lot of kitchen drawers to come up with this little
lady that I used many years ago. I have no information on her at all and I would
like some. I can't even remember when I bought her. She is 3 1/2 inches tall,
has a chipped nose and a baking spot in her hair. Thanks a lot,
Bonnie |
 The little
"Lady Baker" shown on your website is a pie bird/funnel made
by Josef. It was generally produced in Japan. I am enclosing a photo of
one with its original tag.
Many thanks from Rita |
Mariel Hunkeler sent in this photo of a Donald duck pie bird.
He is about 4" tall, is dressed in a sailor suit and looks upward,
beak open, of course. "Donald Duck" is written on each side of the base of
the pie bird.
Value ? who knows the real value?
Maker? was it really Disney who made this and are their any more like it around today?

I have an elephant pie vent. (picture below) I believe it is white, although has some
discolouration from use. Some crazing, but no cracks or chips. It has the
registered no. 860928 - I note other correspondent has said this is a
"mistake". I am interested in selling it and I live in
Australia. Any interest/offers? Regards Bronwyn Fisher Mail
