Three Clarice Cliff Beehive Honey Pots
Item 1.
A large honey pot in the Aurea colourway of the Rhodanthe design. It is 9.5 cm high to the top of the bee.
It is in generally good condition except that the lid has been broken and was professionally restored. The join shows up as if it was a feint crack - see pictures.
The Aurea design was produced 1935 - 37.
Item 2.
The same size pot as item 1 but it has no lid. It is painted in the Melon design produced 1930 - 32.
The paint is quite badly "rubbed" particularly the orange / green circle and the blue beneath this. Again, please look at carefully at the pictures.
Item 3.
A smaller honey pot in the Capri Green design produced 1933 - 4.
The bee is missing (I don't have it). It is 6.4 cm high to the top of the lid and apart from the bee, it is in good condition for its age.
Note that the pattern names and dates given are as stated in Leonard Griffin books.
