Pair of Antique English Victorian Staffordshire Pottery "Scots Harvesters" Spill Vases

19th century
Description

A large and attractive Pair of Mid 19th Century Antique English Victorian Staffordshire Pottery Spill Vases, modelled as a Scots Harvester and his Companion. He stands, attired in traditional Highland dress with his right arm around one large sheaf of corn, while she in a floral sprigged gown, stands with her left arm around another. These sheaves of corn each form a vase, and typically, such figures would have stood upon a mantel above the fireplace where the vases would have held spills, thin strips of wood or paper used for lighting a fire, candle, pipe, etc.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Staffordshire spill vase is a decorative earthenware vessel produced in 19th-century England, designed to hold spills or wood splints used to transfer fire from a hearth to light lamps and candles.

These pieces were typically press-moulded from earthenware slip in separate parts, joined together, lead-glazed, and fired before being individually hand-painted with overglaze enamel colours.

Authentic pieces generally feature flat or plain unglazed backs, small firing holes to release steam during kiln baking, paint wear consistent with age, and a lack of maker marks on the base.

Pair them on a fireplace mantelpiece, sideboard, or windowsill to act as symmetrical focal points, or use them as mantle displays with dried flora.

Clean gently with a soft dry brush or microfiber cloth; avoid submerging in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners, which can degrade the fragile overglaze enamel paint.
