Traditional Porcelain Honey Pot with Beech Wood Dipper 11cm – Yellow

My honey pot & dipper arrived relatively on time and extremely well wrapped but does not hold 16 oz. I immediately filled it w/water to measure its capacity because I purchased this particular pot since, due to space constraints, I wanted the 14 oz jar in which I purchase my honey to be completely empty once I filled the honey pot each time.Unfortunately, the pot I received on 2020-09-30, which is otherwise attractive & very well-made, holds approx 11 oz filled to the brim which one would not do when leaving a dipper in the pot. The answers to the question about this pot's capacity vary quite a bit, so it's possible that over time they came from different manufacturers.NOTE 1: if your dipper looks just like the raw wood of the one included w/mine—whose proportions perfectly fit its pot, though—you should season it before using it to prolong its life. My Fletchers Mill dipper, also purchased here, had already been treated w/food grade mineral oil which is obvious when you place the two dippers side-by-side. (Unlike vegetable oils mineral oil will not go rancid.)NOTE 2: For decades I left my honey in the jars in which it was purchased. And I knew how to use a metal spoon to avoid dripping on the jars or elsewhere. But after reading reviews about ants entering through the opening for the dipper I was glad I saved a white plastic lid from another purchase. Filled w/water prior to placing this honey pot in it that lid-enabled moat should foil any ants daring to come near this pot. (That's esp important now because due to its weight this porcelain honey pot now lives on the counter because it's heavy when chock full of honey.) I've never had a problem w/ants BUT if they somehow find this honey pot's cache I will update this review.So if space is not at a premium you may be quite happy w/this particular honey pot which should look good in ANY kitchen.

The honey pot itself is so cute and a true lemon yellow color however, the honey stick it came with is too long at 6 inches for this pot so I had to order a 5 inch at extra cost which now fits this honey pot perfectly. Other than the stick it cane with its highly rated in my book!

I love this little honey pot. It is a lovely soft yellow color and works perfectly. No more sticky honey jar - I just pour the honey into the pot and the lid keeps flies out. The wooden dipper is well-made and works well. I use this every day.

Very pretty and would be very nice, if it weren't clearly a 'second'...the pot opening is not round (did it warp prior or during kiln firing?) and the lip of the lid that's supposed to fit in the pot opening actually IS round. The two don't fit together - the lid won't seat properly. It's wonky. I'll be returning it.

The most darling honey pot! A great size too! Arrrived in perfect condition. Lots of my friends have commented how cute this pot is. Easy to clean too! I will note as this pot isn’t a air tight container after the honey has been in the pot for over a month it does get a thicker more solid consistency but still flows and doesn’t effect the flavor.

It is a good quality, easy to clean honey pot. It is not very large, good for a small family like ours that uses honey on a daily basis.

Very cute and high quality item. Love it!

The test of an object like this is that it is both aesthetically pleasing and serves the purpose well. This does both. And we were happy with the delivery during the busy holiday season.

Very good quality. Pretty. Arrived on time.

Sehr schöner Honigtopf, die Größe ist perfekt und die Farbe wie dargestellt, wir sind sehr zufrieden, der Preis könnte jedoch niedriger sein….Die Lieferung aus England erfolgte innerhalb einer Woche. Anbieter und Artikel empfehlenswert!

es muy funcional

This honey pot was the perfect addition to my kitchen, I use it almost daily and it holds a good amount of honey.The dipper is nothing extraordinary so if you can get a good one, I bought one handmade from olive wood and it fits perfectly with the honey pot

Such a well proportioned, well made pot. I LOVE it. Ecco friendly packaging.
