The pie bird is a hollow ceramic device, shaped like an up-stretched bird with open beak used for supporting or venting a pie. Use your Pie Bird with a double crust pie. Set the Pie Bird on top of your bottom crust, add the pie filling, then place the top crust on the pie, with the Pie Bird head poking through. While baking, steam can escape through the Pie Bird's mouth! This elegant stoneware pie bird measures 4" high, 2" wide (at widest point) and 2" deep (at widest point) deep. This handy decorative kitchen essential is made of oven safe stoneware. We recommend hand washing just because the pie bird is a smaller piece. Pie birds are not only useful, but very collectible. They have been produced in a multitude of designs and are popular as gifts and collector items. Pie vents for both meat and fruit pies have been used since Victorian times and originated in England during King George III reign. King George loved meat pies but detested soggy crust. The King's baker, being creative or perhaps fearing for his head, devised a small clay apparatus, much like an inverted funnel. This little device propped the pie crust up and away from the juices of the pie and kept crust sogginess at bay.
