Approx 4” Tall - Very Smooth Glazed Ceramic - See pics for further disclosure of condition.

Purpose:
Pie birds are hollow ceramic devices placed in the center of double-crust pies to vent steam from the filling during baking.
Functionality:
The hollow design allows steam to escape through the bird's beak (or top opening for other shapes), preventing the pie filling from boiling over and keeping the top crust from becoming soggy or collapsing.
Usage:
You place the pie bird on the bottom crust, add the filling around it, then place the top crust over the pie bird, ensuring the bird's head or top is exposed through a hole in the crust.
History:
Pie birds originated in Europe centuries ago, gaining significant popularity in the 1930s-1940s when they were widely manufactured and collected.
Modern Use:
While less common than in the past, they are still used by bakers to help ensure a crispier crust and prevent messy boil-over.
