About the Item
This is a beautiful garniture of five vases made by an unknown English maker in about 1820-1825. The garniture consists of one campana vase and four differently sized spill vases. The vases are white with beautiful hand painted fruit arrangements.
As the vases are not marked and their shape is not documented anywhere, we don't know which factory made them but it could be a number of English porcelain factories.
Spill vases were used for match sticks to kindle the fire or transfer a flame from the fireplace to a candle or pipe. Match sticks in 1820 weren't what they are today: they were short hand-cut sticks of wood and came in bundles. Everyone had a "spill vase" on the mantle piece or on a little side table next to the fire, so that the fire could be kindled at any moment, or the match would be used to light the candles.
CONDITION REPORT The vases are in excellent antique condition without any damage or repairs and very little wear - except one of the spill vases, which has some tight cracks in the bottom, see last picture.
Antique British porcelain is never perfect. Kilns were fired on coal in the 1800s, and this meant that china from that period can have some firing specks from flying particles. British makers were also known for their experimentation, and sometimes this resulted in technically imperfect results. Due to the shrinkage in the kiln, items can have small firing lines or develop crazing over time, which should not be seen as damage but as an imperfection of the maker's recipes, probably unknown at the time of making. Items have often been used for many years and can have normal signs of wear, and gilt can have signs of slight disintegration even if never handled. I will reflect any damage, repairs, obvious stress marks, crazing or heavy wear in the item description but some minor scratches, nicks, stains and gilt disintegration can be normal for vintage items and need to be taken into account.
There is widespread confusion on the internet about the difference between chips and nicks, or hairlines and cracks. I will reflect any damage as truthfully as I can, i.e. a nick is a tiny bit of damage smaller than 1mm and a chip is something you can easily see with the eye; a glazing line is a break in the glazing only; hairline is extremely tight and/or superficial and not picked up by the finger; and a crack is obvious both to the eye and the finger. Etcetera - I try to be as accurate as I can and please feel free to ask questions or request more detailed pictures!
