This is a Victorian era George Jones and Sons, Crescent China, England biscuit barrel or biscuit jar made from 1891-1893 in the art nouveau design period.

The mint condition antique ceramic biscuit barrel or cookie jar has an art nouveau design of water lilies, swirled designs and gold trim that are very reminiscent of Charles Rennie McIntosh designs, a famous designer of the period.

The biscuit jar has EPNS silver plate fittings which are in exceptionally fine condition and the jar measures 6.5 inches tall without counting the handle by 6 inches in diameter.

The biscuit barrel is in very good +++ used vintage condition with no chips, cracks or plate wear, and only very minor pattern wear or crazing.

Absolutely beautiful and very difficult to find from this period in such great condition.
