Product Details
Silver plated biscuit boxes are containers for storing and serving biscuits or cookies. They are usually made of metal with a heavy layer of silver on the surface to give them a shiny and elegant appearance. Silver plated biscuit boxes come in various shapes, sizes, and designs, ranging from simple cylinders to ornate barrels, shells, or tins. Some have hinged lids, while others have removable covers. Some have handles, feet, or pedestals for easy carrying or display. Some have decorative features, such as piercing, engraving, or motifs. Silver plated biscuit boxes were popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries, especially in Britain, where they were often used for afternoon tea. They are now considered collectible items and can add a touch of vintage charm to any home.
