Originally designed to hold tea-time biscuits, this charming piece easily lends itself to modern re-purposing, ideal for storing treats, keepsakes, or small essentials.

The barrel-shaped body is adorned with classic silverplated (EPNS) bands, including a decorative central cartouche ready for personal engraving or simply enjoyed for its understated elegance. It features a fully removable domed lid and a convenient swing handle, adding both function and decorative appeal.

The item measures approximately 6.5 inches tall (handle down) 9.5 inches tall (handle up) and 6 inches in diameter. Weighs just under 3 pounds. The inside liner is made of porcelain. Good antique condition with signs of wear and use. There is one split to the wood which is typical and age related due the bending of the wood and years of environment exposure. One small rivet is missing in the bottom band. The lid has a few indents, some age-related staining to interior porcelain. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

As a home decor piece, this antique biscuit jar brings a touch of history to any space. Display it in your kitchen for a hint of old-world charm, incorporate it into a dining room centerpiece for a conversation starter, or place it on a living room shelf to add depth and character. Its warm, natural wood tones and vintage appeal make it a seamless fit for rustic, traditional, or eclectic interiors. See less
