A Lovely Antique Victorian Royal Doulton Biscuit Barrel beautifully adorned in flow blue and finished with delicate gilded floral detailing. This charming piece is topped with a polished silver plated lid and handle, completing the refined look of a quintessential Victorian–Edwardian era biscuit jar.
Deep cobalt panels with classic flow blue decoration - a prized Victorian technique where the blue glaze gently bleeds into the porcelain. Panels alternate with raised honeycomb texture and intricate hand-applied gilt floral overlays, creating rich contrast and a tactile surface – circa 1890.
Measurements:
Height (handle down): 6" (approx. 15cm)
Diameter: 6 1/2" (approx. 16.5cm)
Total weight: 1049g
In good condition – Please note there is a minor chip to the ceramic body, as shown in the final photograph for accuracy. The glaze is rich and consistent, with minor wear to gilt commensurate with age. Silver plate is in very good condition with minor age-related surface marks.
