The ceramic biscuit barrel is made by Paddy, has an EPNS swing handle, mount and cover and is in a very good condition.  The barrel measures 15cm in height (excluding the handle) and depicts a Japanese lady in a garden.  It has front, back and side picture decorations.  The picture has slight grazings and the EPNS could do with a nice polish.  The biscuit barrel likely dates from the 1930s.  Biscuit barrels were made to serve cookies or biscuits at the tea table and not to store biscuits in as they were not airtight.
 
Did you know:  Artist Andy Warhol amassed a collection of 175 ceramic cookie jars. These were in a multitude of shapes and figures. Most were purchased at flea markets. Warhol's collection was featured in a prominent news magazine and sparked an interest in collecting cookie jars. When asked in the 1970s why he pursued the 1930s and 1940s jars, Warhol said simply, "They are time pieces." At an auction of his apartment's contents in 1987, Warhol's collection of cookie jars realized $250,000 (wikipedia).
 
Own a piece of a bygone era, invite someone for  tea and serve delicious home-made cookies from this delightful biscuit barrel.
