- In stock, ready to ship
For anyone who wants their biscuit barrel to earn its place on the worktop
A William Morris Marigold biscuit barrel in deep blue tones, featuring the flowing botanical pattern Morris created in 1875, with a dark blue knob lid.
William Morris designed Marigold in 1875, originally for wallpaper and fabric. It is one of his most balanced compositions — flowing leaves arranged with a precision that reflects his study of the natural world and his belief that everyday objects should be as beautiful as they are useful. On this biscuit barrel, the design is presented in a rich blue colourway that brings a calm, considered presence to any kitchen shelf. Generous enough to hold a good supply of biscuits, and decorative enough to leave out every day.
