Tumbleweed Pottery Pie Bird Pie Plate
What is a Pie Bird? A pie bird is a hollow ceramic device dating back to the Victorian Times in Europe. Pie birds work as steam vents, when placed in the center of the pie; they prevent the pie from boiling over by allowing the steam to escape. Pie Birds also support the pastry crust in the center of the pie. Used in both fruit and meat pies, you can continue this wonderful English tradition in your own home today! Our beautiful red pie plates can be used with or without the pie bird making it just the right pie plate for any pie!
