Antique China & Silverplate Biscuit Barrel

Before America had the cookie jar, Great Britain had the Biscuit Barrel. While our cookie jars tended to be whimsical, the biscuit barrel has always been more classic in its design, intended to add another layer of beauty to the perfectly appointed tea table.

At your service, a genuine Biscuit Barrel found at market in the north of England. This Crown Staffordshire china biscuit barrel with Harrison Fisher silverplated lid would be a striking edition to any room. With hand-tinted transferware decoration, the pattern features a variety of multicolored blooms, primarily in orange and pink.

Sure to share its pretty antique charms in your home, we find this biscuit barrel to be the perfect place to safe-keep your "biscuits," or as a gorgeous decorative piece that could hold soaps, flowers, or a multitude of other small items!
