Notes
Gray’s Pottery produced mounted biscuit barrels from 1915 through to 1921, a period when this table/sideboard accessory must have been very much in vogue. The mounts (the metalwork rim and handle) are usually EPNS (electro-plated nickel silver) and are held on to the pot with a plaster-of-Paris cement.
The shapes of both the pots and the mounts vary considerably, as seen by some examples in the group image of eight barrels (and which includes a 1934 cane-handled example).
Twelve examples of biscuit barrels have been recorded for pattern 1922 (two in Australia, one in South Africa, the rest in the UK): they are all square (as in the example shown) but three different mounts are in use.
The fruit bowl in the lower image has an EPNS mount.
