FAQs

Staffordshire flatback spill vases are 19th-century English earthenware ornaments designed with a flat rear surface to sit flush against a fireplace mantelpiece. They feature a hollow tubular section designed to hold rolled paper spills or splints used for lighting fires and candles.

These figures were slip-cast or press-moulded from white earthenware clay, covered in a clear lead glaze, and hand-painted using overglaze enamel colours. Decorative details such as foliage or moss were often created using shredded clay applied before the initial firing.

Authentic pieces generally display an unglazed or plain flat back, small firing holes in the ceramic body, and subtle crazing in the lead glaze. They usually lack manufacturer marks, as small Victorian potteries rarely marked their everyday production items.

Display these ceramic figures on a mantelpiece, open bookshelf, or window sill alongside contemporary ceramics or botanical displays to create visual contrast. Grouping several flatbacks together on a side table or console table provides an engaging focal point in traditional and eclectic interior schemes.

Clean flatbacks gently using a soft, dry brush or microfibre cloth to remove dust from delicate crevices. Avoid immersing earthenware in water or using harsh chemical solvents, as moisture can penetrate glazed crazing lines and damage original overglaze enamels.
