William Moorcroft Florian Green & Gold Vase

Description

For sale is a piece of Florian “Green and Gold” by William Moorcroft circa 1903-08. In double gourd shape, it is arguably one of the most desirable shapes to secure in your collection. At 27.5cm tall, it is a substantial piece. It counts three flower and tulip buds each to the top of the vase with the same again to the bottom gourd of the vase, so twelve buds in total. The gilt is in excellent condition so this piece really “pops” in a display cabinet.

The vase is being sold in excellent original condition with no damage or restoration. Beneath, the Florian Ware stamp and William’s flash signature in green is present and correct.

The Florian Green and Gold design represents a later (1902 onwards) Macintyre production pattern which came in this colour colourway, as well as two others: pink and blue. It was a popular and important design for William Moorcroft, and is therefore represented in the V&A Museum in London. Please click on the image below to access the V&A website:
