A much-loved classic, this blackbird pie funnel by Midwinter is based on the original 1930s design by the legendary British ceramic artist Clarice Cliff. Perched on a white base with a glossy black glaze and bright yellow beak, it brings elegance, function, and just a touch of whimsy to your kitchen. Cliff’s influence is unmistakable—known for her bold, joyful ceramics and imaginative flair, she helped elevate everyday objects into collectable works of art.
This particular pie bird, produced by Midwinter in honour of her timeless design, is among the most desirable of its kind. Not only does it hark back to the “Sing a Song of Sixpence” nursery rhyme, but it also embodies the best of British mid-century style—combining utility with artistic charm. A wonderful find for collectors of British ceramics or lovers of characterful kitchenware.
