Spode Regency Spill Vase, Ducks and Lotus Pattern No. 2975, C. 1820–1825

18th century
For Sale by Ritas Bazaar
Description

An elegant English bone china spill vase produced by Spode during the Regency period, circa 1820–1825. The trumpet-shaped form and richly coloured chinoiserie decoration reflect the strong influence of Chinese export porcelain on early 19th-century English decorative arts.

Spill vases were designed for use beside the fireplace, where they held tightly rolled paper spills or wooden splints used for lighting candles and lamps. Their combination of practicality and decorative appeal made them highly fashionable Regency mantel ornaments.

The body is decorated in documented Spode pattern no. 2975 with mandarin ducks among lotus flowers and green lily pads. Rich enamel colours of emerald green, iron red, yellow and cobalt blue are combined with delicate gilding. Raised pearl-beaded borders frame the rim and foot, while the lower section is finished with a pink geometric diaper ground.

The underside bears the hand-painted pattern number 2975 in brownish-gilt enamel. The absence of a printed factory mark is entirely typical for smaller Spode ornamental wares of this period.

An attractive and highly decorative example of early Regency Spode chinoiserie.

A spill vase is a small cylindrical or flared holder designed to store paper spills or wood splints, which were used to transfer fire from a hearth to candles or pipes. These vessels became prominent in English households during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, particularly throughout the Georgian and Regency eras.

Regency porcelain pieces were predominantly manufactured using English bone china, a durable translucent paste composed of china clay, china stone, and calcined bone ash. These items were typically finished with overglaze enamel colours, hand-painted details, and gilded rims applied using liquid gold preparations.

Authentic Spode pieces from the Regency era often feature painted or impressed factory marks on the base, along with hand-written pattern numbers. Period examples demonstrate a refined bone china body, precise polychrome enamelling, and hand-gilded borders rather than modern printed transfers.

A Regency spill vase can be styled as a decorative accent on a fireplace mantelpiece, bookshelf, or console table. It can be displayed independently, paired with symmetrical porcelain ornaments, or used to house small floral stems.

Antique porcelain should be gently cleaned using lukewarm water and a mild detergent, applied with a soft cloth. Abrasive cleaners, chemical solvents, and immersion in water must be avoided to prevent wear to delicate overglaze enamels and gilding.
