Antique Wedgwood Blue Jasperware Biscuit Barrel – Silver Plate Lid – c.1890–1910
£ 75.00
On offer is a stunning late 19th to early 20th century Wedgwood Jasperware biscuit barrel, featuring the iconic deep blue matte stoneware body with applied white classical figures and garland motifs — a hallmark of Wedgwood’s neoclassical style that has captivated collectors for over two centuries.
This elegant piece is marked “Wedgwood England” to the base, placing its production between 1891 and 1910 — a transitional period when Wedgwood expanded its export market. The beautifully crisp relief scenes depict Greco-Roman figures in conversation and music-making, interspersed with floral swags and medallions, all rendered in white ceramic bas-relief against the classic cobalt blue background.
The biscuit barrel features a silver-plated lid and swing handle, both in excellent condition, with minimal wear for its age. The contrast of cool silver against the deep blue Jasperware gives this piece a refined, timeless appeal. Measuring approximately 6 inches tall to the rim (excluding handle), it is a fine display item and a wonderful example of Edwardian tea table elegance.
