English Silver-Plated and Green Glass Bee Honey Pot, circa 1900
About the Item
A charming and rare silver-plated figural honey pot, crafted in the shape of a stylized honey bee, England, early 20th century. This whimsical piece is composed of a finely chased silver-plated head and legs, paired with a rich emerald green blown glass body. The hinged wings lift to reveal a hollow interior designed for serving honey or sweet condiments.
Stamped with three distinct marks: an "A" in a shield, a crown in a shield, and "TC" within a rectangular cartouche — all consistent with the hallmarking practices of English electroplaters, likely based in Sheffield. The number "79" denotes a model or production reference. These markings confirm English origin and align with similar collectible pieces from makers in the style of Mappin & Webb.
The bee’s sculptural presence, complete with delicately formed legs and antennae, makes it as much a conversation piece as it is a functional object. An exceptional example of turn-of-the-century novelty silverware, embodying both craftsmanship and humor.
