About this listing

Absolutely gorgeous antique ribbed biscuit barrel decorated with cobalt blue irises, a butterfly and ornate gilt scroll and acanthus decoration to the neck, with a blue gilded finialled ribbed lid and all over gilt sponging. According to http://potteryhistories.com/doulton%20backstamps.html the makers mark dates it to between 1891-1900. Has two chips on the rim hence the low reserve, which are made less obvious by the lid, but could be repaired. Also some wear to the gilding. Approx 19cm high and 16cm across at the widest Photos to follow. NB: I am currently listing items on behalf, from my father's extensive antique collection - https://www.trademe.co.nz/MyTradeMe/Sell/Current.aspx Current items will include Satsuma, Cloisonne, Kutani - later there will be British and Continental items. **I do NOT offer to watchers, if you want it you will need to bid ** Contact within 3 days, payment within 5 unless by prior arrangement please ** Happy to send non breakable items overseas (please ask if you are unsure), otherwise NZ resident bidders only please.
