Vintage Nutbrown Grey Ceramic Elephant Pie Funnel, Mid Century

A soft grey glaze and an elephant silhouette, made for an everyday baking task.

This mid century elephant pie funnel was produced by Grimwade for Nutbrown. Its glazed ceramic form combines an animal design with the practical purpose of releasing steam from beneath a pie crust.

The grey finish gives the shape definition without relying on bold colour. Inside, the Nutbrown marking provides a further connection to its origins as a piece of English kitchenware.

At approximately 8 cm tall, it fits easily beside cookbooks and mixing bowls on an open shelf. Pair it with contemporary white ceramics or darker stoneware, where the elephant form adds an unexpected detail.

A distinctive piece of British kitchenalia and a thoughtful vintage gift for someone who enjoys elephants or unusual baking tools.
