This biscuit barrel had my husband's name on the bottom. It was in the family for probably 80 years. I have given it a place of honour on this page on this day!

How wonderful to have this family heirloom! I have never seen one and just love it!

Oh I just love this little biscuit jar, Maggiemae. I love the colors and the decorations on this. We bought one similar to this at an auction in England and I treasure it. Traced it back to the 1800's. These are wonderful ...and yours is a family heirloom.

What a lovely biscuit barrel - do you use it?

[Caroline]

This is really pretty Maggiemae. Lovely tones and light as well.

[Maggiemae]

@grannysue would you believe that a similar one is being sold on Trademe for $1!

[Maggiemae]

@karenann @marlboromaam Truthfully, the camera has made this sweet treasure look a lot brighter! But that's what I wanted to do today!

[Maggiemae]

@tesssa Yes, there are 3 other sisters who could have had it!

[Maggiemae]

@boogie Um, the opening is pretty small! Maybe in those days they had tiny biscuits!

[Livia]

It looks lovely! I've never seen such a pretty container for biscuits before. Nicely captured!

This is very beautiful Maggiemae & made more special by having the name on ! The flowers are so bright & beautifully painted.

Does that mean it is a cookie jar? I'd give it place of honor too.

[Zuzana]

Oh very vintage ;-)

Pretty antique!! I have a few containers like that my grandmother gave me. They're so special. :)

That is really beautiful, Maggie, and even more special because it's a family treasure.
