A wonderful original Grimwade Pie Funnel, made in Stoke-on-Trent, England, during the Edwardian era. Crafted from white glazed earthenware, this
kitchen tool was designed to sit in the center of a pie while baking, allowing steam to escape through the chimney to prevent soggy pastry and boil-overs.
The green transfer reads:
THE IMPROVED
Popular Pie Funnel
Carries Away Steam and Leaves
the Pie Crust as Light and Flaky
Inside as on the Surface
Measures Approx: 3 1/2” tall x 2 3/4” base
This piece is in great condition with some very minor ware marks on the bottom of the petals. 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.
