Vintage Hand Painted Biscuit Barrel with Deer Relief – Made in Japan

A beautifully detailed vintage biscuit barrel, hand painted and made in Japan, featuring raised relief scenes of deer in a wooded landscape. Finished in a rich cobalt blue against warm honey and tan tones, with a textured glaze and matching lid.

This is a substantial, sculptural piece with lovely weight and presence. The relief work wraps fully around the barrel, and the lid echoes the same motif, making it as decorative as it is functional. Ideal as a statement storage piece, kitchen display object, or standalone decorative vessel.

Stamped “Made in Japan” to the base. A charming example of mid-century Japanese export ceramics.
