A charming majolica glazed spill vase from the Staffordshire pottery region of England, circa 1860.
The tall 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 bright 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. Spill vases have a cylindrical holder for containing splints or rolled paper tapers called spills, for transferring fire to light a candle or a pipe from a hearth fire.
3 inches in diameter x 10 inches high.
