Hello CW! Was at Goodwill the other day and this piece had just been put on shelf. I think it is what is considered a biscuit barrel. Any ideas about age? I just love the flowers and butterflies on it!
Very pretty floral design on this biscuit barrel, lovely find and good to see you MrsT
Super nice find. The engraving is top notch and what I can see of the metal detail it is about as good as it gets, lucky you !~
Wonderful GW find Mrstyndall!! It's very beautiful!!
It's a beauty ! What a find too. Our GW's and the like are just filled with modern cast offs. I miss the good ole' days and the treasures you could find. :)

perhaps this is interesting,
I think that it is around 1900 because of the porcelain high quality decoration.
It is rare, oak fruits and butterflies? Thanks for sharing
Hi, Jenni, it has been a while. Thanks for the sweet comment as always :)
Phil, appreciate your comment! I thought engraving was nice too!
Jscotto, thank you so much!
Mikelv85, yes, GW’S prices have definitely increased and it is harder to find good things as compared to years ago, but sometimes you catch something that slips through the cracks. The couple near my house have been good at finds
Kivatinitz, thank you for that info, I really love the painting on it and neat that it is probably over 100 years old
Edwardian probably nice bit busy on the engraving
Apostata, thank you for the info. Yes, there is alot of detail on this, but I don’t mind :)
