About the Item

A Majolica glazed spill vase from the Staffordshire pottery region of England, circa 1860. The vase is molded as a woman’s hand holding a vessel formed of cattails or bullrush plants. The vase has a rolled rim and a pink interior. The base shows the wrist with a ruffled cuff and wrapped in a pearl bracelet, a ring is seen on the index finger. Hand vases were popular during the Victorian era for holding posies or spills.
