Huntley Boorne & Stevens Mid Century ‘Wedgwood Jasperware’ Biscuit Tin 1950s

About the Item

Huntley Boorne & Stevens Mid Century ‘Wedgwood Jasperware’ Biscuit Tin, England, mid 20th century. This is a very decorative biscuit tin by Huntley Boorne & Stevens, one of the premier makers of tins in England in the previous decades. This very company existed from 1832 until 1985 and is famous for their interesting designs. They also made tins for Huntley & Palmers. In the middle of the 20th century they obtained the right to use several Wedgwood designs for their tins and we assume this design must be one of them. These designs were meant to resemble ceramic Wedgwood Jasperware. Very classical and elegant, this design is refined yet playful. The use of only two colors - blue and cream white - make this a very graphical tin. In a way the design also resembles mid century Italian works by Gio Ponti or Piero Fornasetti, who also knew their way around the use of numerous elegant neoclassical themes. This Huntley Boorne & Stevens tin comes in a very original vintage condition with some wear and a shallow dent on the side.
