This antique Wedgwood biscuit barrel is crafted in classic royal blue jasperware with white neoclassical relief depicting figures and trees. It features a silver-plated lid and a swing handle, adding both function and elegance to the design.
Made in England by Wedgwood—one of the most iconic ceramic manufacturers, founded in 1759—this piece exemplifies the refined beauty of 19th-century English tableware. Biscuit barrels like this were commonly used during afternoon tea to store and serve cookies or biscuits.
The matte blue body contrasted with crisp white decoration is a hallmark of Wedgwood’s jasperware, and the silver-plated fittings enhance its sophisticated look.
A collectible antique with enduring charm, it makes a striking addition to both traditional and eclectic interiors. Measures 9” in height when handle is in raised position and 6” in height when it’s lowered.
