Vintage Caneware Style Game Pie Dish Tureen Lidded Game Birds Ferns Bird Finial

Game pie dishes began in the Victorian era, when English potters molded buff caneware to look like a raised pie crust and decorated it with game birds and ferns. This lidded dish carries on that classic farmhouse look. Molded game birds hang among ferns around the sides, and the lid has a bird finial, more birds and ferns, and rope-style rim bands. It would look right on a kitchen shelf, a hutch or a country-style table, and it works as a covered dish or a display piece.
