A cheerful vintage pie bird in the form of a ceramic cockerel, finished in a lovely light blue glaze with plenty of country kitchen charm.
Originally designed to sit inside a homemade pie, pie birds allowed steam to escape during baking while helping support the pastry lid. Once familiar objects in British kitchens, they are now enjoyed as decorative pieces of kitchenalia, valued for their nostalgic connection to traditional baking and their wonderfully characterful designs.
The soft blue glaze gives this cockerel a fresh, uplifting quality, while its familiar country form brings a gentle farmhouse feel. It would look particularly lovely displayed on open shelving, amongst vintage ceramics or alongside other baking curiosities.
There is something especially appealing about these small kitchen objects: made for a simple practical purpose, they have become much loved pieces in their own right, preserving a little of the everyday history of home baking.
A cheerful country kitchen classic, bringing colour, character and a little baking nostalgia to your collection.
