PAIR of Chamberlain's Worcester Spill Vases. Lord Nelson Pattern - For Sale

PAIR of Chamberlain's Worcester Spill Vases. Lord Nelson Pattern
Price: $2250.00
A very fine and quite rare pair of English Chamberlain's Worcester porcelain spill vases, decorated in the popular "Japan" pattern 240... also know as The Lord Nelson pattern or The Green Partridge pattern. Decorated in vivid shades of cobalt blue and iron red and a small green partridge, hidden among the leaves and fans of the design, accented with brilliant gilding. A spill vase was usually kept on the mantelpiece and was filled with rolled paper tapers or very thin wood sticks, called spill. Spill was used to transfer fire from the fireplace to candles, lamps, a pipe or a cigar. Commercial matches, which first surfaced in England during the 1820s were a relatively expensive commodity until the late 19th century, and spill was therefore a more cost effective solution. These attractive vases are in splendid condition. They measure 4.50" X 2.50" $2,250 for the pair, + shipping.
