This is a charming vintage biscuit barrel, biscuit jar or cookie jar made in the 1920s by Lancaster and Sandland, England with an all hand painted scene..

The ceramic biscuit jar has a neat all around design of a Victorian scene centering around a coaching inn with wine red borders.

The biscuit barrel measures 7 inches high without the handle by 5.5 in diameter and has silver plated EPNS fittings with a maker's mark of a butterfly which is the trademark for John Moreton & Co. Ltd of London and Sheffield.

The biscuit or cracker jar is in very good +++ used vintage condition with no chips or cracks. The only flaw is minor silver loss on the rim and lid.

A wonderfully decorative as well as useful item. Perfect for storing your rich tea biscuits with panache.
