Vintage Yellow Kissy Lips Pie Bird Funnel

A wonderfully quirky vintage pie bird in cheerful yellow glazed ceramic, with the distinctive expressive features of the much-loved “Kissy Lips” design.

Designed as a traditional steam vent for homemade pies, pie birds combine practical baking with the playful character that makes vintage kitchenalia so appealing. This example has plenty of personality, from its bright yellow glaze to its wonderfully expressive little face.

Pie funnels were once familiar sights in British kitchens, helping steam escape while a pie baked and allowing pastry to cook beautifully around them. Today, their unusual forms and nostalgic connection to home baking have made them particularly enjoyable pieces to collect and display.

The cheerful colouring and unmistakable character make this a lovely addition to a vintage kitchen, baking collection or shelf of curious culinary treasures. It would also make a fun conversation piece amongst traditional kitchenalia.

A joyful little piece of vintage kitchenalia with plenty of character and a lovely connection to the traditions of home baking.
