On offer is a classic and highly collectible Victorian-era Wedgwood blue and white jasperware biscuit barrel, dating to the 19th century. This elegant piece features the signature deep cobalt blue stoneware body adorned with white applied Neoclassical reliefs, including goddesses, garlanded maidens, a smoking altar, and cherubic figures—iconic themes in Wedgwood’s historic design repertoire.

The biscuit barrel stands approximately 6.5 inches tall (excluding the handle) and about 5 inches in diameter. It is topped with its original silver-plated lid and mount, complete with a swinging handle for easy lifting.

While the piece remains structurally sound and displays beautifully, there is notable wear to the silver plating, and minor scuffs and surface marks on the jasperware body, consistent with age and careful use. These age-appropriate imperfections only enhance its authenticity and Victorian charm.

🏛️ About Wedgwood Jasperware

Josiah Wedgwood, founder of the legendary Wedgwood company in 1759, revolutionized ceramics with his invention of jasperware—a fine, unglazed stoneware that allowed for intricate white bas-relief designs on colored backgrounds. Introduced in the 1770s, Wedgwood’s blue and white jasperware remains among the most instantly recognizable and collectible forms of English pottery, celebrated for its elegance and craftsmanship.

These biscuit barrels became a staple in Victorian households, not only functional for storing biscuits (cookies) but also used as tea table centerpieces and status symbols of refined taste.
