Farmhouse Pottery | Beehive Honey Pot with Wooden Dipper

Handcrafted in Woodstock, Vermont, the Beehive Honey Pot is great for storing honey—but can easily hold sugar, salt and other ingredients, too. It includes a wooden honey dipper for easy drizzling. We especially like how the design subtly mimics the shape of a skep, or a dome basket woven from straw that once housed honeybee colonies for centuries. Farmhouse Pottery’s Silo Collection, featuring a white glaze and rustic base, is a tribute to the silos (and their heritage and craftsmanship) found throughout Vermont farmlands.

Farmhouse Pottery products are handmade by artisans in their Woodstock studio—from the early stages of weighing, wedging and kneading clay to end stages of trimming, stamping, glazing and firing. All the pottery Milk Street offers begins as clay measured on an old-fashioned dial scale, before it’s hand-thrown and shaped on the wheel. The pieces rest overnight in a humidity-controlled damp room, where they dry and shrink evenly. Artisans trim, stamp and perform final shaping before glazing and firing the final product. Each piece is carefully inspected before it’s shipped off to you.
