A Collection of Six Honey Pots
This lot comprises six ceramic honey pots in a range of shapes, glazes and decorative styles. Several have bee-form finials to the lids, and two of the pieces include a spoon. One is formed as a beehive with a bee at the lid, another has a basketweave-effect body, and others show textured bark-style or floral-patterned surfaces. One of the group has a bright, multi-coloured geometric design, while another is white with a scalloped rim and a painted bee. The collection includes examples of old Tupton Ware, as described in the lot title.
Lot Condition and Collector Interest
The condition of each piece is not detailed in this description, and no restoration or repair has been stated. Prospective buyers are encouraged to view the lot in person before the sale to assess each pot individually. The variety of makers’ styles and the bee-themed decoration make this group of interest to collectors of vintage kitchenalia and of pottery featuring insect designs, and the mix of pieces offers scope for display or further study.
