Two earthenware and porcelain serving items, comprising a cylindrical biscuit barrel and a rectangular serving platter. The biscuit barrel is constructed from white glazed earthenware with a slightly flared rim and a matching flat-topped lid featuring a central knob finial. It is decorated with a transfer-printed floral spray of magenta and blue blossoms with green foliage, and bears the word Biscuits printed in a blue serif font to the body. A single blue line accents the lid circumference. The rectangular platter is made from white porcelain or fine earthenware with a scalloped and gilt-edged rim. The centre features a transfer-printed romantic scene in the “fête galante” fashion, depicting a couple in 18th-century dress within a garden setting. The printed name Watteau is legible in small script below the central scene. The rim is embellished with an ornate gilt scroll and trellis border.
