Description
This biscuit barrel takes the shape of a seated West Highland Terrier, modelled in white glazed ceramic with every tuft of its shaggy coat raised in the surface. The face is full of charm, with bright black eyes, a black nose, rosy pink cheeks and pink inside its pricked ears. It stands 24cm tall, 13cm wide and 17cm deep, so it sits neatly on a worktop or shelf without taking over. The head is the lid: release the silver clip fastening around the neck and it lifts away from the body to open the barrel, then settles back on and clips shut, so the terrier keeps its head until you want a biscuit.
We think the kitchen is its natural home: on the worktop beside the kettle, on an open shelf or on the dresser, where the little dog can keep watch over whoever is making the tea. Fill it with biscuits for the household, or set it by the back door with treats for the dog of the house, so a reward is always close at hand after a walk. It makes a thoughtful gift for pet lovers, and an easy choice for anyone who shares their home with a Westie of their own.
The head and body are both ceramic, finished in a smooth glaze that gives the white coat a soft sheen. Inside, the barrel is plain and open, and the neck leaves plenty of room to reach in for a biscuit. For everyday care, wipe it with a soft damp cloth and dry it straight after, and lift the head off with both hands, as you would with any ceramic piece. If you are giving it as a present, fasten the clip before wrapping so the head stays put on the way; once it is unwrapped, a first fill of favourite biscuits makes it ready for the shelf.
