A pretty putti/cherub Victorian spill vase 19th century, in perfect condition.
The vase is a figural "spill vase," originally intended to hold "spills" (thin pieces of wood or paper used to transfer a flame from a fireplace to a lamp or candle).
Material: It is made of glazed porcelain, a material favoured in the late 19th century for its soft, matte finish that highlights delicate sculptural details.
Origin: Vases of this style were widely produced in both Germany (notably by manufacturers like Conta & Boehme or Heubach) and England (Staffordshire). German examples such as this, often feature unpainted backs and impressed mold numbers.
Would make a perfect gift given with fresh flowers.
