Here's a handmade threaded solid clay (?) beehive with fired-on yellow glaze. It has bold raised embossing that reads: M. & E. / MILHOLLAND / DIAMOND POINT / SQUIM. WN. Rear dome has "21". I obtained this when I purchased the Milholland collection six years ago and have enjoyed it sitting on my shelf in the office. Now it's time for someone else to enjoy it. I have no clue who made it, but it was maybe a presentation piece to the Milhollands and most likely prior to 1975. Own a piece of history from two true pioneers of our hobby. $50, plus actual shipping.
