Wedgwood Tri-color Jasperware Spill Vase

This beautiful Wedgwood tri-color jasperware spill vase displays lovely applied lilac and green foliage against a solid white ground. Tri-color jasper pieces, usually colored with white applications, are a rare find, but white-bodied jasper pieces featuring colored decorations are extremely unique and highly prized by Wedgwood connoisseurs.

In the days before matches were widely available, spill vases were kept on fireplace mantels to hold rolled paper tapers or thin wood sticks (spill), which were used to light candles, lamps or a gentleman’s cigar with fire from the fireplace.
