PIE PLATES AND CROCKS
Pie plates and crocks are traditional items made by potters of this area in Eastern PA. Good pie-baking has been a long-standing tradition in my own family and continues to this day.
Found on an old pie plate: "I made this dish without a pie. Now make a pie without a dish." - Jacob Medinger ( potter near Limerick, PA, early 1900's)
9" Pie Plate with fluted rim Brown stoneware with clear glaze showing random speckles Price: $37.00
9" Pie Plate with fluted rim Brown stoneware with oatmeal glaze showing random speckles Price: $37.00
The pie plates are made with a speckled brownstone clay fired to stoneware temperatures (about 2230 F) The design is hand-painted with blue underglaze and then a durable food safe glaze is applied. Made for 9" pies, the outside rim is 10".
A ceramic plate is excellent for baking pies -- it bakes evenly and makes scrumptious pies! Of course, a good recipe and baker's touch helps!
