This is a highly decorative piece of Victorian ceramics that dates to about the second half of the 19th Century.
This is a more unusual flatback spill vase, that you would have put on your mantlepiece or in the kitchen and you would have popped long tapers or spills to light lamps and fires etc into. The spill container takes the form of a tree stump to the centre - and is painted with a bright orange interior.
The model shows a Victorian couple standing on either side of a country well and filling a big bucket with cool water. I love all the colours of the couple's costumes. The lady has a simple dress - and wears a flouncy bright green apron. The gentleman has very dapper blush pink breeches and a little matching green jacket.
This is a lovely rural scene with pastel colours - and suitable for a country cottage. It is also such a nice size for display. It is in good condition - there is a little bit of restoration of the back of the spill section. This is reflected in my reduced price for this beautifully modelled flatback.
My pretty Staffordshire figurine is being offered at a fair price.
The model measures: 8 1/4 inches in height by 5 inches wide. It is 2 inches in depth.
