William Moorcroft Florian Forget-me-not Vase

Description

For sale is this exquisite, early Florian Ware vase by William Moorcroft, dating to around 1902. Decorated with forget-me-nots surrounded by whisps of foliage, it is a little firecracker at only 7cm tall! With warm blues and greens, it really looks magnificent under light in our cabinets . The whole vase from top to toe is brimming with decoration which also makes it so appealing. Lastly it is in the double gourd shape, a prized shape for collectors.

William Moorcroft at the time of making this piece was working for James MacIntyre & Co. There he became very successful with Florian Ware and after they closed his department, he continued in his own name. He went on to become one of the most successful art potters of his time.

Offered for sale in excellent original condition, this vase has had no damage or restoration. It has the “William Moorcroft Des” signature in green, present and correct for the period. “Des” indicated he was the designer working for MacIntyre and is most often seen following his name on these early pieces.

You will not be disappointed adding this level of quality and colourway to your collection.
