Quality Antique English Cut Glass & Silver Plate Biscuit Box / Barrel, c.1860

About the Item

A particularly good and unusual cut glass biscuit box which would equally make a wonderful ice bucket or pail. Earlier than most of this type, it dates to around 1860, mid-Victorian in era. The glass is beautifully hand-cut to emulate a coopered barrel with silver plated lid and swing handle. The shape too is unusual with a taller more elongated design; most appealing. Excellent condition measuring approximately 5" max in diameter x 8" tall to lid finial. Item: 42996.
