Moonlit Blue Vase by William Moorcroft

Description

This is a wonderful William Moorcroft vase in the Moonlit Blue design dating to circa 1925. At 12cm tall, it counts four main trees with ten secondary plumes off the main trees, the foliage is surrounded by a rich blue to bottom with the speckled powder blue to top. Colours are crisp and vibrant with no bleed to mention. The vase displays incredibly well.

Landscape patterns, including Dawn, Eventide and Moonlit Blue are all highly sought after and rare pieces for the collector and are considered prize pieces, with Moonlit Blue probably being the most prized. William Moorcroft’s move to his new factory saw him focus on extending his collection of landscape offerings beyond Hazeldene. This resulted in the launch of Moonlit Blue in 1922. Thereafter followed Eventide, and later again the Dawn pattern. With the rolling hills, leafy trees with plumage and rich colourways, these pieces are as captivating now as they were in the 1920s!

The vase is in excellent original condition with no chips, cracks or restoration guaranteed. Beneath the foot, we have all present and correct. William Moorcroft’s flash signature in blue, togther with the “Moorcroft Made in England” stamps.
