Description
This bee hive salt and pepper pot set brings a sunny, country kitchen feel to the table. The two pots are made of earthenware and shaped like traditional domed hives, with ridged rings stepping up to a rounded top where the small holes sit. Each has a little raised bee settled on its side, painted in black and yellow with pale wings, and a cluster of yellow honeycomb cells runs along the base. The white glaze is flecked with fine dark speckles, which gives the pair a soft, rustic look. Each pot stands 7cm high and 6.7cm across, a compact size that sits comfortably beside a plate without crowding the table.
We like them on a kitchen table, a breakfast tray or a dresser shelf, where the bees and honeycomb add a gentle splash of yellow against wood, white or pale painted surfaces. They suit a cottage kitchen, a farmhouse dining room or any room where you serve meals, and they are as happy brought out for a weekend brunch as for everyday seasoning at supper. Their small size makes them easy to hand across the table, and the two hives look tidy and well matched side by side.
Earthenware gives the pots a gently rounded, solid feel, and the glossy glaze shows off the ridged rings of each hive. For care, wipe them with a damp cloth, going gently around the raised bees, and dry them well before refilling, since keeping the holes free of moisture helps the salt run freely. Fill one with salt and one with pepper, then set them out beside a honey pot or a jug of garden flowers for an easy bee theme at the table. Tied with a ribbon, they also make a cheerful little gift that will see daily use.
