This is a vintage 1930s floral chintz biscuit barrel, biscuit jar or cookie jar made by Lancaster and Sons, England.

The ceramic biscuit jar has a lovely all over floral chintz design of navy blue and red flowers with a metallic gold foliage overlay pattern and gold trim.

The biscuit barrel measures 7 inches high to the top of the lid finial without the handle by 6 inches square and has silver plated EPNS fittings.

The biscuit or cracker jar is in very good +++ used vintage condition with no chips or cracks, an excellent interior, but there is plating loss to the fittings and some gold loss to the overlay pattern around the neck of the jar.

A wonderfully decorative as well as useful item. Perfect for storing your rich tea biscuits, Oreos or Hob Nobs.
