The Bee's Knees.
Featuring smooth ceramic embossed with a delicate illustration of a fluttering honeybee, this artisanal honey pot is sweetness embodied. Each refined piece begins in the hands of Sandra Bonazoli and Jim Dowd in their Massachusetts studio where the sculptors start with a drawing and then create the original form. The finished piece is then molded and hand-cast out of creamy ceramic stoneware by skilled artisans in the Andes Mountains of Peru. The pot's contrasting glazed and natural wood honey dipper is pleasing to the eye and a pleasure to work with as you use it to drizzle this amber treat into tea or onto biscuits. Each vessel is high-fired for durability and is both microwave and dishwasher safe, so clearing out the last of your crock's contents will never turn into a sticky situation. Ceramic handmade by fair-trade artisans in Peru. Honey dipper handmade in Massachusetts.

The quality and craftsmanship of this sophisticated honey pot is the buzz around UncommonGoods. The design started with artists Sandra Bonazoli and Jim Dowd, who created the original form. Now skilled Peruvian artisans hand-cast each stoneware piece. The natural wood dipper adds to the sweetness. What do you love most about this uncommon design?

I like it but it would be easer to make valid comments without knowing the price.

Very nice looking, great contrast between handle and pot, but I don't know anyone who would use this. Maybe as a display piece instead. I don't think it is a sought after thing to have.

Cute design but it seems way too big for a honey pot. 9" tall? It would be too big for me to bother with it.

Very nice. I'd probably like it even better without the embossed bee, but it's still got beautiful lines.

I like this self-contained honey pot. For those of us who buy our local honey this will be a wonderful holder to drizzle the contents.

I'd like it more if the handle wasn't so tall... seems disproportionate.

I can't imagine actually keeping honey in here, since it doesn't seem to be very airtight and might be easy to attract bugs. It would probably also be a mess trying to get the honey into it! Pretty, but I'll stick with the glass or plastic my honey comes in.

I understand why someone would use a honey pot. I guess I don't use honey enough to be bothered by the squeeze bottle or using a spoon.

Very attractive. The only use I can see is if you buy honey in bulk, you'd want to keep the large container in the pantry and a small usable amount out on the counter.

A really lovely piece. Modern, artistic and functional. I use my honeypot all the time. The dipper captures the perfect amount of honey, and since you can swirl it to capture drips it's far less messy than using a spoon.

Too big. 9" high is a lot of honey.

pretty but useless... yet another thing to gather dust. I've had lovely honey pots and gave them away. They were never used just sat sadly in the cupboard.

I'm surprised to say I would actually use this. I bought a huge bottle of honey from Costco that I probably shouldn't have (hey it never goes bad!) and this would make it much easier to use. Plus it's pretty.

Love that it was made by fair-trade artisans in Peru. Much snazzier and eco-friendly than a plastic bear bottle!

This is super cute and original! If it does make it to the site I suggest that it come in an array of colors.

My honey mason jar is always sitting out on the counter. This would be a lovely alternative!
