It was missing it's base but we couldn't resist. We've been looking for a raised pie tin for a while but didn't want to spend the £90+ that they seem to cost. This bottomless antique one was a bargain at only €10 but Mr Joe still managed to haggle and got it for €8! Even more of a bargain was the collection of other pie dishes which were only €1. Some of them are very well used - imagine all the tarts that have been baked in them before...
They were pretty rusty when we got them but we thought that one of them could donate itself as a base for the raised pie tin. I've given them a quick scrub with vinegar, lemon juice and bicarbonate of soda to remove the rust. Some of them need another go with the mix but I think at least three of them will be useable such as the brioche and circular pan. In the meantime, our lovely neighbour has since very kindly made me a base for the pie tin so 0I don't have to sacrifice any of these.
