Vintage English Biscuit Barrel

Collectibles : Kitchenware : Biscuit Barrel

 

What a sweet English biscuit barrel this is!!! It features lovely raised hand painted decorations of clover, rose cartouches and blue highlights. The little barrels were very popular in England at tea time. The bottom 2/3 of the jar is green satin glass. The top part appears to have had some gold trim but it is mostly worn off. The lid of the jar appears to be aluminum and is in good shape. The lid ring I believe has been repaired which does not show from the top. The metal rim around the top of the barrel has minimal wear and maybe just needs a good cleaning. The barrel handle is not loose and in great working order. This jars stands 7 ¼” to the top of the lid ring and the bottom is about 5” in diameter. All in all, it is a wonderful vintage piece which dates back to the early 1900’s.
