Antique English Devon Ware Biscuit Barrel
Details
A richly decorative antique English biscuit barrel by S. Fielding & Co., produced in their sought-after Devon Ware line. The sculptural form is adorned with deep cobalt blue florals and flowing gilt accents on a softly cream ground, finished with its original metal rim and swing handle, beautifully aged with time.
Marked to the underside Devon Ware – S. Fielding & Co. – Stoke-on-Trent, England, pattern Trent. The surface displays an even, age-appropriate crazing consistent with early 20th-century English earthenware.
This example no longer retains its original ceramic inner lid, as is common with biscuit barrels of this period. Today, it makes a striking decorative vessel—perfect for open shelving, a sideboard, or layered into a collected vignette where form and surface take center stage.
Dimensions: 6" W x 6.5"H
