Of course, pies themselves can be works of art with elaborate braiding and clever designs, in which case a simple glass pie pan might seem best for the job—but sometimes you want to add another layer of drama. Like putting an oil painting in a carved and gilded frame. Or maybe you have a humble pie that needs a little dressing up. In any case, these pie pans are perfect.
