Found at market in northern England, we are delighted to present this handsome oak and silverplate jam barrel. The richly stained oak wood is beautifully complemented by the gleaming detailed silverplate decoration, creating the illusion of a drum that is ready to gallantly marshal your breakfast more than a century after it was created.

This signature piece was crafted by the esteemed Birmingham firm John Grinsell & Sons, known for quality tableware as well as their distinctive "Cupid Standing on a Scroll" trademark, first registered in 1879.

Complete with its ceramic liner, it is sure to be a stunning addition to your prized serveware collection, ensuring that your jams, jellies, or other condiments are served in properly ceremonial fashion!

Strictly one-of-a-kind and subject to prior sale. In very good antique condition. 5.5"H handle down, 7.25"H handle up x 4.5"D.
