Can I wash my painted vase in the sink?

Warm water and a soft cloth will usually suffice for basic dusting. You should never submerge pieces with elaborate surface gilding or enamel. Harsh detergents can strip cold-painted decorations right off the ceramic body. If the interior is stained, swilling a little mild soapy water inside is safer than soaking the whole vessel.

My grandmother always used to keep dried lavender in a pair of tall floral vases, is it safe for me to put fresh cut flowers and water in them now?

Most antique ceramic vessels will tolerate water just fine. They were originally designed for that exact domestic purpose. You must check for hairline cracks first. Even a tiny star crack in the base will seep water onto your furniture over a few hours. If the clear glaze is heavily crazed, water might penetrate the porous body underneath and cause older hidden stains to bloom.

What is a spill vase used for?

Spill vases are small cylindrical containers made to sit on a mantelpiece. They held rolled tubes of paper or thin wood shavings called spills. People used those spills to transfer fire from the hearth grate to a candle or a pipe. They are smaller than standard display pieces and often turn up in pairs.

I have a large vase with scenes of Greek figures on it but the handles are broken off and missing, is it still worth keeping on display in my home?

Many collectors actively display damaged pieces if the main painted scene remains intact. A missing handle changes the silhouette but does not erase the craftsmanship of the painter. You can always turn the damaged side towards the wall. Antique painted vases with losses still offer strong decorative appeal on a high shelf where the missing elements are less obvious.
