About Victorian Spill Vases:
Spill vases were popular throughout the Victorian era (1837–1901), designed to hold spills (small rolled paper tapers) used to light candles, lamps, and fireplaces before the widespread availability of matches. These decorative items were often displayed on mantels and side tables. This particular example, with its delicate swan and floral motifs, reflects the romantic naturalism that was highly fashionable during the late 19th century.
