Two rare polychrome Dutch Delft honey pots and covers, 18th C.

H.: 10,4 cm (the tallest incl. cover)
H.: 8,8 cm (the smallest incl. cover)

Although these models have historically been described as honey pots, they could be intended for butter. See Kunstmuseum Den Haag, The Netherlands, for two comparable examples from the Lavino Collection, described as tureens in the shape of a butter tower. See also Aronson, object number D2039, for a pair of comparable examples.
