Pair Staffordshire 'Milk Sold Here' cow spill vases

Victorian, circa 1860. 13.8ins high, 13.4ins wide, 3.7ins depth.

Staffordshire spill vase with a pastoral theme which features a cow, stood on an oval base.



We think they have possibly been matched up together at some stage because they are of different colouration, however we feel they go together very well. The piece is titled, 'MILK SOLD HERE' . Russet and white version. Dull gilt base line and embellishment. Flatback, decorated only to the front.





Book reference,'Victorian Staffordshire Figures 1835-1875' Book 2, by A.& N. Harding, page 240, figure 2895/2896.
