- Spill Vase - Popular in Victorian times, a spill vase was a vessel for holding thin slips of wood or spills of paper with which to light a candle or pipe from a fire. For ease of access to the fire, they usually sat on the mantlepiece or had a hole in the back, so they could be hung from a wall. Their use declined with the with the evolution of heating through use of electricity and the use of safety matches in the late 19th century.
- Hard Paste Porcelain - Hard paste porcelain is true porcelain made of china stone and kaolin. The formula has been known by the Chinese since 800BC, but was kept secret until the early 1700s when a chemist at the Meissen factory discovered it, and the formula has since become known throughout the west.
