A wonderfully unusual Nutbrown pie funnel featuring a charming elephant design in simple white ceramic, with all the character of traditional British kitchenalia.
Made by Nutbrown of Blackpool, England, this vintage piece dates from around the 1930s to 1950s. Originally designed to sit inside a homemade pie and allow steam to escape during baking, its playful elephant form makes it just as appealing today as a piece to collect and display.
There is something particularly lovely about vintage pie funnels. Practical objects from everyday kitchens, they often have a surprising sense of personality, offering a glimpse into the creativity and charm of British home baking.
The understated white ceramic makes this a versatile piece for a country kitchen, farmhouse shelf or collection of vintage baking pieces. The unusual elephant design gives it an especially distinctive presence.
A delightful little piece of kitchen history with plenty of nostalgic charm.
