A wonderfully characterful vintage pie funnel shaped as a traditional baker lady, complete with apron and bonnet.
Made in England by Taunton, this charming ceramic figure was designed to sit inside a pie and allow steam to escape during baking. Today, character pie funnels like this are enjoyed as much for their nostalgic designs as for their original purpose, offering a lovely glimpse into the traditions of the British kitchen.
The baker lady captures the familiar image of the traditional home cook, giving this otherwise practical kitchen accessory a delightful sense of personality. Her simple ceramic form and vintage character make her particularly appealing amongst country kitchenalia and collections of unusual baking accessories.
Pie vents were once everyday objects in home kitchens, but their playful designs have given many of them a second life as collectable curiosities. This Taunton example would make a lovely addition to a cottage kitchen, vintage baking display or shelf of nostalgic kitchen pieces.
A delightful little baker with plenty of nostalgic charm and a wonderful connection to traditional home baking.
