British sterling silver biscuit (candy) jar

The biscuit tin is a must-have on the dining table of upper-class British families. Usually used to store cookies, pastries or desserts during tea time. At social gatherings, the material and design of the cookie jar were used to display the wealth and taste of the owner. It is also often used as a wedding gift to give to others. This cookie jar has a neoclassical style that uses symmetry, columnar structure and simple lines. Lined with hand-cut crystal glass, most biscuit tins are handcrafted by silversmiths. A large number of hollow decorations are used to demonstrate the exquisite metal processing technology of the time. The handle above the lid is in the shape of a pine cone, which perfectly embellishes the entire jar. This exquisite piece was made by Henry Wilkinson & Co. Their pieces are often designed in an elegant Victorian style. Commonly detailed flower carvings, Vine textures and natural themed decorations. The company produces many silverware used in churches and religious occasions, such as chalices, holy water dishes, Menorahs and other ceremonial items, also for competitions, Large silver trophies and souvenirs are produced for horse racing events and important commemorative events. *This design museum mainly focuses on European antiques, old pieces, and second-hand items. After years of baptism, some antiques will inevitably have slight historical traces, black spots, or small missing corners. It is inevitable that it will not be as clean and flawless as a brand new product, but this does not affect its retro beauty. Friends who are perfectionists and are used to buying brand new products, please think twice before placing an order. We also hope that you will become a beauty who loves antiques as much as we do^^ If you have any questions, please send us a message!
