I think I shall leave them both unused... they have now joined the rest of my vintage / antique office/craft supplies on my shelf!<br /><br />Pie birds were used to vent steam from fruit or meat pies. Bakers also used their beaks to create decorative edges on the pie crust! They are ceramic and hollow, so they were placed in the middle of the pie before filling. While baking, the steam would vent up thru the bird's body and out the beak! I love that I found both a white one and a black one. The white was $5 and the black $7!<br /><br />Thank you Vintage Gal! I have only bought a few insulators... I passed up so many previously I could have had quite a collection by now. I finally gave in and picked up three at Goodwill for a couple of bucks. This one I didn't mind paying $5 for at an antique shop since it was such a pretty colour!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02145005899710394272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989125660737793732.post-47707216289848630562012-10-16T07:31:02.711-05:002012-10-16T07:31:02.711-05:00Wow what great treasures.

So are you going to use the powder or the ink or leave them unopened? I wonder if they even work after all these years? BTW, what's a 'pie bird'? And I love insulators too.
