Offering this larger rare antique English Ironstone Pie Funnel from the early 1900’s. The funnel reads:

THE IMPROVED
POPULAR PIE FUNNEL
Carries away the steam and leaves the pie crust as light and flaky inside as on the surface
GRIMWADES ENGLAND

Before modern ovens and venting techniques, fruit pies produced heavy steam. Trapped steam caused soggy bottoms and burst crusts, the funnel vented steam while supporting the crust.

A pie funnel (sometimes called a pie vent or pie chimney) is placed in the center of a pie before baking. The crust is draped over it, allowing steam to escape through the funnel.

Manufactured by Grimwades Ltd., Stoke-on-Trent, England. They were founded in 1885, and were known for: Royal Winton chintz ware, novelty ceramics, and kitchenware

Measures Approx: 3” tall x 2” base

This piece is in good condition with a strong green transfer, and some age wear and coloring. This would be a unique piece
for your collection. 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
