Know before you buy
A pie bird is placed in the center of your pie before baking to vent steam. This prevents the filling from bubbling over and helps ensure the crust stays crisp rather than soggy.
Simply place the pie bird in the center of your pie dish, fill the fruit or savory mixture around it, and drape your top crust over the bird. The bird's hollow center allows steam to escape through its mouth while it supports the crust.
Yes, this is made from high-quality Polish pottery designed for baking. It is heat-resistant and intended to be used directly inside your pie while it bakes in the oven.
Manufaktura pottery is known for its durability and high-quality glaze. With proper care, the handpainted pattern will remain vibrant and intact through regular use.
Yes, the 4-inch height is standard for most deep-dish and traditional pie plates. It is designed to sit tall enough to protrude slightly through the top crust.
