*SOLD* What a find!
This is a wonderful piece of traditional cookware ready & waiting to play a part in your tasty pie baking
The funnel is made of ironstone & has a two tone coloured affect to it. I believe the original colour would have been an off white / cream colour, but through its use I would suggest the beige colour thats now present was created through the steam during its usage.
The funnel would have been placed in the centre of the pastry whilst cooking. The idea behind this was for the steam to be released through the vent at the top, preventing the pastry to rise up and the contents of the pie/tart to spill out.
This particular funnel has a lovely & quirky scalloped edge to its base. The funnel is in wonderful vintage condition with no cracks or marks to the surface. The only signs of its vintage age is the slight discolouration mentioned above. I personally think the two tone colour is rather stylish.
The pie funnel stands proudly at a dinky 10 cm high
A wonderful nod to the baking utensils of the past.
