Note
Reilly, in the Wedgwood Dictionary says, "This 'Beehive Bench' was continued in production for at least fifty years [from its appearance in an 1802 Oven Book] but –probably because of its excessively vunerable shape– surviving examples are rare."
Examined under UV light. Lid restored with a few small lid rim chips and fleabites. Small chip to one foot of base.
