G291B Wedgwood Jasper Ware Biscuit Barrel
This is a beautiful example of a signed, 'Wedgwood' jasper ware biscuit barrel, or sometimes called cracker jar. The Wedgwood marking dates this jar to prior to 1891 circa. Silver bottom button feet and silver top rim and handle top this biscuit barrel. Notice the intricate beaded work in the silver around the rims of both the top and bottom. The jasper dip design around the base of the jar has the scene 'Sacrificing Figures'. A biscuit barrel of very similar style can be found in the reference book, 'Wedgwood Jasper Ware A shape book and Collectors Guide', by Michael Herman, on page 32. The only variation is that the biscuit barrel in the book is supported by a handle with a finial in the center. This barrel measures 6" high and the handle when stool upright stands up 10 1/2". The diameter is right at 5" and at the widest point handle hinge to hinge is 6" wide. This highly decorative jasper piece is in all good original condition and there is several cupids for all you cupid collectors that you will not want to miss.
This particular piece of Wedgwood Jasper Ware came from out of the private estate collection of Bea Fray of Moberly, Missouri. Her husband was an eye doctor for many years in this area and Bea recently was selling down some of his fine collectibles. We are thrilled to be able to offer this fine piece of Wedgwood Jasper Ware for sell. Please check out my other items as there was some other fine pieces of Wedgwood that we were able to acquire along with this fine piece.
