Antique Edwardian Gourmet Pie Cup

This is a listing for an antique white ironstone Gourmet Pie Cup funnel, dating from the early 1900s. 

This Edwardian pie vent is a classic example of white ironstone kitchenalia featuring black transfer print advertising in a belted logo. The beautifully designed bell shaped ironstone pie funnel was subject to a patent.

Still practical enough for use today to allow steam to escape from the middle of homemade pies, they are lovely pieces of kitchenalia for display in the kitchen too.

This pie funnel is a beautifully aged example. It has seen some wear from use resulting in some crazing and staining to the glaze. However, this has created and unique naturally timeworn appearance. The staining is more heavy towards the bottom and inside the pie funnel. There is also a tiny flake chip to the base rim and some paint splash marks at the top. However, the vent is structurally sound and very usable still.
