Item Details

This is a pair of vintage huntsman biscuit barrels. An Oriental, ceramic lidded kitchen storage jar with rural British taste, dating to the mid 20th century, circa 1960.


With a long history, the humble biscuit is intertwined with Britain's cultural heritage, much like the decor upon these charming jars. Introduced in the 1830s, the Digestive biscuit was thought up by Scottish doctors as a health food, to aid with digestion. A more exotic option is the fruity Garibaldi, named after the Italian General Guiseppe Garibaldi. Another typically British choice is the dunkable Rich Tea, a late Victorian introduction with a lightly sweetened taste. With two jars, you can have a good variety to store and present at your leisure.


Displaying a desirable aged patina and in good original order
Quality ceramic presents good colour and appealing decor
Traditional hunt pattern, with mounted riders and hounds
Domed lids sit neatly upon the broad barrel form


This is a charming pair of vintage biscuit barrels, with a pleasingly British aesthetic to the pattern. Delivered ready for the home.
