My collection started without really knowing it when I was given the first biscuit barrel - the Piggy Barrel in the photos - by my Grandmother over 20 years ago.  The second came via the in-laws not long afterwards - the Clown Barrel in the photos.  The Losol ware barrel and the pink victorian are recent additions that I saw at an Auction and decided to have a bid on.  I didn't know the history of Losol Ware at the time as I just loved the look of the item, the colours etc. The same for the pink barrel and would love someone to help me out with some sort of history.  I can't see any back stamp on this one - but love it just the same.
