David Cleverly Devon Studio Pottery Mouse Pie Funnel

A charming handmade pie funnel by Devon studio potter David Cleverly, featuring a delightful little mouse emerging from the top.

Made in Haytown, Devon, this characterful ceramic piece brings together the practical tradition of British baking with the individuality of studio pottery. Originally designed to allow steam to escape from homemade pies, pie funnels are now enjoyed as much for their unusual designs and craftsmanship as for their original purpose.

The little mouse gives this example its particular charm, with the whimsical form adding personality to what would otherwise be a purely functional kitchen object. The glazed finish and handmade quality give it the warmth and individuality associated with small-scale studio pottery.

David Cleverly’s Devon pottery makes this an especially appealing piece for collectors of British ceramics, while its compact size makes it equally suited to a country kitchen shelf or a collection of traditional kitchen curiosities.

A wonderfully characterful piece of Devon studio pottery, combining handmade craftsmanship with the nostalgic pleasure of traditional home baking.
