The Fitzwilliam Museum was built between 1837 and 1847, when it opened to the public. It seems likely that the spill vase would have been produced shortly after that. It was tentatively attributed to Copeland when accessioned, but this is not now considered likely, although it was probably made in Staffordshire.
