A rare pair of Staffordshire pottery Foxes spil vases, c. 1850, Thomas Parr factory. The spill vases, well modelled as foxes stood before spill vases, standing over sheep.

Vibrantly painted in underglaze enamels,and having a single gilt line to the bases.

Height – 19.5 cm, 7 3/4”.

Width – 14 cm, 5 1/2”.

Condition – Tight, short hairline to the back of one spill vase, which in my opinion, is not aesthetically detrimental, even so, if required, I can have painted out. Please see images for detail.

FAQs

A Staffordshire spill vase is a type of 19th-century earthenware figure featuring a hollow cylindrical holder designed to store wooden spills used for lighting fires or pipes.

These figures were typically hand-modelled or slip-cast from earthenware clay, then hand-painted with metallic and enamel colours before undergoing a final glaze firing.

Authentic pieces generally display characteristic crazing in the glaze, hollow bases with vent holes, and hand-painted details with vibrant underglaze or overglaze pigments consistent with mid-19th-century manufacturing methods.

Antique ceramic figures add character when displayed on a mantelpiece, bookshelf, or sideboard, contrasting effectively against minimalist or contemporary decor.

Keep antique earthenware out of direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading, and clean gently with a dry, soft cloth, avoiding water immersion or harsh chemical detergents.
