This pair of Victorian Staffordshire earthenware spill vases dates to 1860 and depicts seated huntsmen wearing blue coats and black hats alongside spaniel dogs next to tree trunks. The polychrome glazed figures display vibrant shades of green, blue, white, yellow, and red enamel, finished with hollow oval bases inscribed with the title "Dog Tray" and topped by flared orange-rimmed vase openings. The hand-painted decoration includes detailed facial features, textured coats, and foliage surrounding the figures. Each piece measures 32 cm high, 21 cm wide, and 9 cm deep. These decorative mantelpiece ornaments bring traditional English country house character to living rooms, studies, or libraries when placed on a shelf, sideboard, or mantel.

Originating in 19th-century Britain, Staffordshire spill vases are ceramic figurines crafted with attached hollow tree trunks designed to hold paper spills or wooden splints used for transferring fire from hearths to candles or pipes.

These figures were typically slip-cast or mould-pressed from soft-paste earthenware, fired, and finished with clear glazes before hand-painted overglaze polychrome enamels were applied.

Authentic pieces generally feature unglazed or flat-moulded backs, small air release holes in the ceramic casing, slight glaze crazing, hand-painted details with slight variations between pairs, and a light-to-medium weight consistent with hollow earthenware.

A pair of antique ceramic figures can be positioned symmetrically on a fireplace mantelpiece, integrated into a bookshelf arrangement, or styled atop a console table to provide historical contrast within contemporary spaces.

Dust the earthenware gently with a soft microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush, avoiding water immersion or abrasive cleaners that can damage delicate overglaze enamels.
