Staffordshire Spill Vase 1840 Antique Victorian Fisherman & Wife

Staffordshire Spill Vase circa 1840 Antique Victorian Fisherman & Wife.
While searching online, I found the exact same piece on the Albert & Victoria Museum website.

A genuine mid-19th century English Staffordshire pottery spill vase, featuring a figural group flanking a tree-form vase, with a female figure standing with a plate of fish, male figure, likely a fisherman. No base stamp.

Good Antique condition, there is some age related wear, crazing. Someone, not me, at sometime down the line, has implemented some TLC repairs to the nibbles on the top of the trunk. There is a minor crack on the fisherman's neck which is only at the the front & doesn't go all around.

Please check the photos as they form part of the description.

Measurements 8 1/2 inches x 5 1/2 inches

This is a classic Staffordshire chimney ornament / spill vase, designed to hold spills (tapered wood shavings or rushes) used for lighting candles and fires.
