Victorian Staffordshire "Wally" Mantle Spill Vase is a decorative porcelain ornament, typically a pair of hand-painted spaniel dogs, made in the Staffordshire region of England during the Victorian era. "Wally" dogs were popular mantelpiece ornaments, and the "spill vase" feature is a central opening designed to hold long spills (matches or paper twists) used to light candles or lamps.
