This MOORCROFT ANEMONE FLOWERS VASE GLOBULAR BOTTLE SHAPED, 6.2 in. is in very good condition- there is some crazing on the underside bottom. Condition status includes minimal normal wear and rubbing, typical crazing, minor glaze losses, firing flaws, and fretting. Overall, this work is sound, having no chips, cracks, or major defects, and having had no apparent repairs or restorations. It is noted that old Moorcroft is not inherently "perfect" - pieces were still wheel thrown in this era and as such have wheel thrown marks like little dents in the pottery which are glazed over. This isn't damage- this is part of the history of old pottery and how it was made. This item is sold as is, as described. Please see all photos which are a part of this description. Please note; photos have been taken in indirect sunlight; therefore, reflections and lighting spots may appear, but do not necessarily indicate defects.

Dimensions:            6.2 In. Tall X 3.2 In. Wide X 3.2 In. Deep

Moorcroft

This is Moorcroft Art Pottery art pottery. This style includes production techniques whereby enamel glazes and decorations are hand applied and worked in stages upon a fine pottery form, and fired several times in a kiln.

The Moorcroft factory started in 1913 under the direction of William Moorcroft, an experienced pottery designer and potter. The Moorcroft factory was famous for its famous tube lined, hand-painted art pottery. Moorcroft pottery is often referred to as Florian Ware and flambé ware which included highly developed glaze designs with vibrant colors. Queen Mary was an avid collector and in 1928 granted William and later, his son, Walter, a royal warrant. Tubelining is a technique of ceramic decoration. It involves squeezing a thin line of clay body through a nozzle onto the ware being decorated. An alternative term is "slip trailing". The skill takes time to acquire, and it is associated with art pottery rather than mass production.
