A Pair of Staffordshire Spill Vases
What a wonderful pair of Staffordshire spill vases this is. Full of color, early out of the mold, and wearing detailed and colorful costumes. These are what are known as flatback figures, and were meant to decorate a victorian mantle holding flowers. Girls in peasant dress are carrying yellow baskets ,each has a rabbit in it. Wearing pink hats and a green and rust colored dress which go beautifully with the inside of the spill which is rust. 11" tall and just perfect. There is a tiny bite to the nose of one but I think it is under the glaze. At any rate for the age they are they look very good, C 1840. A gold band decorates the bottom of the figure.
