Stuart Bass Devon Studio Pottery Blackbird Pie Bird

A beautifully handmade pie bird by Stuart Bass of Devon, featuring a creamy ceramic glaze with charming hand painted blackbird decoration.

Made as a traditional steam vent for homemade pies, this little piece combines the practical heritage of British baking with the warmth and individuality of studio pottery. Pie funnels have become much loved pieces of kitchenalia, appreciated for their unusual forms, craftsmanship and connection to the rituals of home baking.

The creamy glaze and hand painted bird motif give this example a particularly gentle, country character. Signed S Bass, it has the unmistakable appeal of something made by hand, where small details and variations are part of its charm.

Made in Devon, this Stuart Bass pie funnel would sit beautifully amongst traditional kitchenalia, on an open kitchen shelf or as part of a collection of British studio ceramics. Equally enjoyable as a decorative piece or for light use, it celebrates the idea that even everyday kitchen objects can have character and beauty.

A charming piece of Devon studio pottery, bringing together British wildlife, handmade craftsmanship and the nostalgic appeal of traditional baking.
