Pie Bird



Pie Bird.... pie vent,pie chimney,pie funnel , pie whistle.....

                         is a hollow ceramic device, originated in Europe...used for venting a pie


                               You have heard that children's rhyme ...4 and 20 blackbirds baked in a
                                                           pie.....

                      While out touring not with the intention of antiquing I found .........

                                                        wait for it........

                                                  A Pie Bird........

                We took off  a couple of weeks ago with the old vehicles touring
                                             Lakeshore dr.
                                 From New Castle to Port Hope.....
















                                            Very Scenic..... took a few pictures......






                                      As you can see the closer we made it to the Lake Ontario the skies
                                                                cleared making for a gorgeous day.....

                                               **notice the house below the hill***


                                                   Then we happened upon a cute antique shop...

                                                         The first glass display I looked into
                                                                   There it was.....

                                                       A Black Pie Bird......

                                                             Has that ever happened to you....
                                              you are just out and about not really looking for anything
                                                                   in particular and there it stood......

                                                        So here is my Blackbird sitting high upon my  shelf

                                                                   Yes see the markings......
