FAQs

Spill vases were popular household items during the nineteenth century designed to hold spillsthin wood shavings or rolled paper spills used to transfer fire from a hearth to candles or pipes. Staffordshire potteries produced these functional decorative items in vast quantities, often featuring pastoral, animal, or folk themes.

These ceramic figures were typically made from press-moulded earthenware, coated in a white glaze, and decorated by hand with overglaze enamels. The rear trunk or column served as the functional receptacle for spills, while the front was sculpted and painted.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces generally feature unglazed or flat-backed bases, small release holes from moulding, hand-applied enamel paint details, and fine age-related crazing in the glaze. Most original Staffordshire earthenware pieces were unstamped and unmarked.

A pair of spill vases works best symmetrically placed on a fireplace mantelpiece, windowsill, or rustic console table. They complement English country, farmhouse, or eclectic maximalist interior arrangements alongside traditional pottery and timber accents.

Clean earthenware ceramic items using a soft, dry cloth or gentle soft-bristled brush to remove dust. Avoid immersing porous ceramics in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as water can seep through crazed glaze lines and cause internal damage.
