A majolica game pie dish made by Minton & Co. in 1864. The dish takes the form of a wicker basket and is covered with oak leaves, acorns, vines, and ferns. The dish’s lid features a group of realistically molded dead game: a rabbit, a mallard, and a crow. <\/p>\n

Game pies, made of fowl, rabbit, or venison inside a pastry crust, have always been a staple of English cuisine. However, it wasn’t until the 18th century that game pie dishes were introduced. As wheat shortages made pie crusts increasingly prohibitive, families sought alternative solutions. As a result, in order to be more economical, households, including that of the royal family, began to make game pies without a crust. Made popular by Josiah Wedgwood, game pie dishes were designed to assist these culinary endeavors by holding the pie together without the need for a pastry crust. <\/p>\n

This dish contains the original ceramic liner, which held the game pie together while baking; the liner with the pie inside was then placed into the decorative game pie dish for serving.<\/p>\n

Dimensions: 13 in. L x 8 in. W x 7 1\/2 in. H (33 cm L x 20.3 cm W x 19 cm H)
\nCondition: Excellent, with original liner present. Some minor scuffing to rabbit’s head. Chip to rim of liner measuring 1.6 cm.<\/p>\n
