#1440 black ceramic pie bird with a yellow beak and white eyes.
4” tall, no chips or cracks. Pie birds, also known as pie vents or steam vents, are hollow ceramic figurines, often shaped like birds, that are placed in the center of a pie crust. Their primary function is to allow steam to escape from the pie during baking, preventing the crust from becoming soggy and the filling from bubbling over. These charming kitchen tools have been used for decades, adding a decorative touch to pies while serving a practical purpose. While many pie birds are mass-produced and lack significant historical value, some vintage or uniquely designed pieces can be sought after by collectors. The tradition of using pie birds dates back to at least the mid-20th century, and they remain a popular item for bakers who appreciate both functionality and a touch of whimsy in their kitchenware. This particular example, with its glossy black finish and yellow beak, is a classic design.
