About this piece

This honey pot is modelled as a skep — the traditional domed, woven straw beehive — with the woven texture recreated in solid silver rather than a plain rounded form. Genuine antique silver skeps are scarce, since only the most skilled silversmiths of their day could achieve that woven effect; Paul Storr, the Regency Royal silversmith, is noted for producing fine versions historically. A limited edition.

Care

A treated silver polishing cloth is usually enough for light tarnish; for heavier tarnish use a silver foam or cream, rinse with warm water and dry thoroughly. Avoid silver dip for hollow pieces. Store wrapped in acid-free tissue or a tarnish-proof bag, and keep rubber bands away from silver.
