Covered honey pot 1882 - 1890

This "Covered honey pot" was made between 1882 and 1890 by the American ceramicists Ott and Brewer. It's a stunning example of the art pottery movement, showcasing the artist's meticulous craftsmanship. The pot's elegant form, with its domed lid and delicate handle, is enhanced by the intricate floral and insect motifs. The base, crafted in a stylized wood design, adds a touch of rustic charm to the piece. This honey pot, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic excellence of Ott and Brewer, who tragically lost their lives at young ages.
