This charming antique Staffordshire spill vase, depicts the legendary figures of Robin Hood, Little John and a King Charles Spaniel dog. Hand-painted and crafted in the 19th century, this porcelain figurine showcases two male characters alongside a distinctive black and white hound. The tree in the center of the piece serves as a unique hollow spill vase, a traditional 19th-century device used to transfer fire from fireplaces, given the scarcity and costliness of matches during this era. nterestingly, an identical Robin Hood spill vase graces the mantle of The Sherlock Holmes Baker Street Museum in London, adding a touch of mystery and literary connection to this piece. Features: Material: Hand-painted porcelain Subject: Robin Hood and Little John with a black and white King Charles Spaniel dog. Unique Element: Hollow tree serves as a spill vase Period: Queen Victoria (1837-1901), Mid 19th century Date: Circa 1860 Dimensions: Width 9.25", Depth 4", Height 14.75" inches Spill Vase Explained: For those unfamiliar with the term, a spill is a long rolled-up paper wand used in the 19th century to start fires in fireplaces or wood stoves. These spill vases were functional mantel pieces, always at the ready to hold these long paper tubes. Staffordshire Pottery Background: Staffordshire figures were crafted from 1740 to 1900 by various pottery factories across England and Scotland. This Victorian flatback example, typical of the period, features undecorated backsides since they were designed primarily to be displayed on shelves or fireplace mantels, visible mainly from the front or sides. Popular subjects of these Staffordshire figures included romantic scenes, buildings, farm animals, and the ever-popular King Charles Spaniel, Queen Victoria’s favored pet. CONDITION Please note some signs of age and wear, including crazing, hairline cracks, and a few chips. There is a chip on the upper part of the dog's nose. This is all adding to the antique charm and authenticity of this piece. Please see the last couple of pictures. less
