Description: WILLIAM MOORCROFT ORCHID ANTIQUE VASE c 1937 GREEN BLUE HANDMADE OOAK FLORAL EUC. This stunning one of a kind vase gently fades from green to cobalt blue. Features beautiful orchids. The Orchid pattern was first drawn by William Moorcroft c.1937 In 1928, Moorcroft was appointed ‘Potters to H.M. The Queen’, cementing the quality and demand of the brand. Moorcroft’s designs continued to compel collectors, with his reach extending as far as the British Royal Court. In 1928, Queen Mary awarded Moorcroft a royal warrant. Moorcroft pottery is made entirely by hand. Their colours are 'washed' into raw clay. As a result, no two pieces are the same; neither is the intensity of colour, brushwork or tube-lining the same on any two pieces. These variances are often what collectors enjoy, making each piece unique. Moorcroft pottery is unique in that it has mainly remained in ownership by one family since its founding. This has ensured there are, relatively, only a few markings and backstamps to look out for: Early Moorcroft pieces are much sought after and often reach high prices at auctions. Measures 6.5 inches high x 4 inches wide. Some crazing on this antique vase. Beautiful and free from scratches or chips. In excellent used condition. Thank you for looking!
