About the Item

Free Worldwide Shipping Stamped Elkington From our Accessories collection, we are pleased to offer an Art Deco Honey Bee by Elkington. The novelty Jam pot cast as a large Honey Bee with a silver plated body has a pair of hinged wings which fold up to allow access to the blue glass Jam pot within the Bee’s abdomen below which has a spoon located between the two wings. The underside of the honey Bee is stamped Elkington with the registration number W11518. The Honey Bee dates to the early 20th century during the Art Deco period circa 1925. The Bee would be suitable to hold any condiments including, honey, jam and/or marmalade and would also be suitable for sugar. Elkington and Co. was founded by George Richards Elkington and his cousin, Henry Elkington, in the 1830s. It operated under the name G. R. Elkington Co. until 1842 when Josiah Mason joined the firm, becoming the third partner. It then operated as Elkington, Mason, Co. until 1861 when the partnership with Mason was terminated. The firm then operated independently for over one hundred years as Elkington Co. from 1861 until 1963. After 1963 it was taken over by British Silverware Ltd and in 1971 became a subsidiary of Delta Metal Co. Ltd. Silver Plate refers to a method of applying a thin layer of silver to a base metal such as brass. Therefore it refers to an item which is not solid silver but plated to the outer coating. Art Deco was a style of visual arts, architecture, and product design that first appeared in France in the 1910s. It flourished in the United States and Europe during the 1920s to early 1930s. It was hugely prevalent through styling and design of the exterior and interior of anything from large structures to small objects and even influenced fashion and jewellery. Art Deco has influenced bridges, buildings, ships, ocean liners, trains, cars, trucks, buses, furniture, and everyday objects like radios and vacuum cleaners. It has become extremely popular today and is highly desirable to collectors and trendsetters in the fashion industry.
