FAQs

Spill vases were popular decorative vessels during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, designed to hold slender wooden splints or rolled paper spills. These spills were used to transfer flames from a fireplace to candles, pipes, or lamps before the widespread availability of matches.

Fine English porcelain vases were typically slip-cast or mould-formed from soft-paste or bone china before undergoing multiple firings. Artisans applied hand-painted polychrome enamel decoration in layers, finishing the pieces with burnished gold leaf gilding and reticulated pierced rims.

Authentic pieces feature standard factory printed backstamps on the base, often accompanied by date codes consisting of dots, letters, or symbols. Painted fruit subjects usually bear the clear signature of the individual artist painted directly into the artwork.

A paired set of antique porcelain vases can be placed symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, console table, or dining sideboard to serve as a focal point. Their detailed artwork and gilded highlights contrast effectively against neutral contemporary backdrops or dark painted cabinetry.

Clean porcelain vessels by dusting gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or camel-hair brush. Avoid immersing pieces with gilded details in water or using abrasive chemical detergents, as friction can wear away hand-applied gilding and painted enamels.
