A beautifully handcrafted Stuart Bass pie funnel from Devon, featuring a blackbird and foliage motif inspired by the natural character of the British countryside.
The bell shaped ceramic form is decorated with a gentle woodland inspired design, while the “S Bass England” stamp adds a lovely maker’s detail. Created by Stuart Bass in Devon, this piece has the individual character and warmth that makes handmade studio pottery so appealing.
Originally designed as a practical baking accessory to release steam from homemade pies, pie funnels have become much loved decorative pieces in their own right. This example brings together traditional kitchen function with the artistry of handmade ceramic design.
Its natural decoration and softly crafted finish would sit beautifully in a country kitchen, amongst vintage kitchenware or within a collection of British studio pottery. A distinctive little piece that celebrates the connection between useful objects, craftsmanship and the natural world.
A beautifully made piece of Devon studio pottery with a gentle countryside character.
