Title: Honeybee Pot – ID please?
Post by: cogar on March 26, 2011, 01:06:07 pm: I am not sure if that is the correct name for this piece in that I have never found a reference to it.

There is a vaguely similar piece pictured on Page 106 of Bill Edwards book, “Carnival Glass – Revised 2nd Edition”.

It looks to me to be Carnival glass but I am no expert.

The lid has 2 Bees and 1 slot for the spoon/dipper handle

The Honeybee Pot’s dimensions are: 4 1/2 in. high - 3 1/2 in. in diameter.

Any info would be much appreciated

It is referenced as 7/P-bee hive jar and cover 4 1/4" high and was produced in 1958 - 1959 in shell pink milk glass, This is your exact mold but not your color. My reference states Like all companies
Jeannette ran occasional color trials from time to time and you may find isolated pieces in a color uncommon to it. I believe this is what you have a trial color of a piece that was produced for only one year & in shell pink milk glass for that year.
