Description: This is a wonderful pair of vases or spill vases made to hold flowers or paper match tapers made in the Staffordshire area of England during the Victorian era from 1870-1890 and could possibly be classed as a fairing meaning given out as a prize at a fair or fete and are definitely victorian English souvenir items. They bear the inscription A Present From Margate which is a seaside resort in Kent, England, in gold victorian script. The pair is a couple, a girl and a boy, sitting on a fence under a tree. They boy and girl have some paint wear and there are several really tiny unoticeable chips on the points of the tree fronds. There is a number 7447 incised under glaze on the back of the boy. They are really in fabulous condition and would grace any mantle in a place of honor!
