Antique English Oak Wooden Biscuit Barrel with Ironstone Insert - c. 1900 For Sale

This lovely antique English Wood Oak Biscuit Barrel with white ironstone insert is in very good condition. There is some light crazing on the bottom of the insert. The wood looks very nice, with a thin split on the right side. These became fashionable during the Victorian period, when taking tea with biscuits (cookies in the U.S.) became a social ritual. The jar was kept on the tea table and used to serve biscuits to guests during afternoon tea. The picture included with the multiple pots is not the actual one here and is shown just for ideas of how something may be displayed. This can be a real standout in the kitchen, or barware, or with other collectible displays.

The Biscuit Barrel measures approx 6” tall x 5” diameter wide x 4” mouth opening.

Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. This is an authentic antique piece.

I sourced this piece during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England.

I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.

Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.

On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.

Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
