FAQs

Staffordshire spill vases were popular ornamental ceramic figures produced in the English potteries during the 19th century, designed with a hollow cylinder to hold wooden spill splints used for lighting fires and pipes.

These figures were typically hand-moulded or slip-cast in earthenware, then hand-painted with underglaze colours and overglaze enamel highlights before being fired in a kiln.

Authentic pieces often feature characteristic crazing in the glaze, vent holes, hand-painted details with minor imperfections, and hollow undersides without modern maker marks.

They can be displayed on mantelpieces, bookshelves, or side tables to introduce a touch of historic charm, character, and traditional craftsmanship to contemporary spaces.

Keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent paint fading, dust gently with a soft dry cloth, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or submerging them in water.
