Spill Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Spill Vase by William Spode features a white ceramic bust of a man's head and shoulders. The man has a mustache, and his hair is depicted on the sides of his head. He wears a tall hat with a fan-like design on top and a necklace-like design around his neck. The background of the image is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The vase has two small openings on either side of the top.
