Nutbrown Grey Elephant Pie Funnel Vintage Ceramic

A wonderfully characterful vintage Nutbrown pie funnel featuring an unusual elephant design in a soft grey glaze.

Produced by Grimwade for Nutbrown, this mid century ceramic piece combines the practical traditions of British baking with the playful approach to kitchen design that makes vintage kitchenalia so appealing. Originally used to allow steam to escape from homemade pies, pie funnels were practical objects that could also bring a little personality to the kitchen.

The gentle grey glaze and distinctive elephant form give this example a particularly appealing presence. It is a lovely reminder of a time when everyday household objects were often designed with a sense of fun as well as function.

Its compact size makes it easy to display amongst vintage ceramics, traditional kitchenalia or a collection of pie funnels, while the unusual animal design gives it plenty of conversation-piece appeal.

A charming piece of mid century British kitchenalia, combining Nutbrown heritage with wonderfully playful ceramic design.
