Authentic antique English ceramic pie funnel, marked “The Gourmet Pie Cup” with Registered Design No. 369793. Dating to the early 1900s, these ingenious kitchen tools were placed in the center of meat and fruit pies to
*Allow steam to escape during baking.
* Help prevent pie fillings from boiling over and making the crust soggy.
* Support the crust over deep meat or fruit pies so it wouldn’t collapse.
* Make it easier to add gravy or stock to meat pies through the opening near the end
During the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, ceramic pie funnels became common kitchen tools, particularly for large raised meat pies. The “Gourmet Pie Cup” was one of several patented commercial designs sold in England.
Measures Approx: 3” tall x 2 1/4” diameter
This piece is in very good condition, with one minor chip on the back at the bottom. Please study the images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive.
This is an authentic antique advertising piece sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
