Victorian Spill Vases
These are a charming pair of Victorian spill vases, likely dating from the mid-19th century. Crafted from porcelain, they feature a delicate floral design and are adorned with gilded accents. The vases are shaped as figures, and stand on shaped bases. These vases were originally intended to hold ‘spills’ – rolled paper used to light pipes and fires – and were popular mantelpiece ornaments during the Victorian era.
Condition and Collectibility
These spill vases show signs of age and wear, consistent with their antique status. There are some minor chips and crazing to the glaze, but overall, they are in good condition for their age. These vases would be a delightful addition to a collection of Victorian ceramics or a charming decorative piece for a vintage-inspired home. Their delicate craftsmanship and historical significance make them a desirable item for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
