William Moorcroft Spanish Pattern

The vase is signed with the full green William Moorcroft signature beneath and stamped Moorcroft Burslem England as it should be. It presents superbly throughout. To note is an area of invisible restoration beneath the hip and also a very fine small hairline to the top rim. Close examination reveals the hairline occurred whilst the vase was new and before age crazing occurred. This is not visible on display and has to be carefully looked for.

This vase will delight the collector and is available at a good price reflecting its (excellent) restoration. It will make a fine addition to any serious early Moorcroft collection!
