Moorcroft Ashwood Hepatica Pottery Vase MIB
1999 Ashwood Hepatica Vase Measures 6 inches tall by 4 1/4 inches round at top and 2 5/8 round at bottom.
Designed by Emma Bossons, This is first run not a second.
Emma drew inspiration for this design from the Hepatica Flower after a visit to Ashwood Nurseries in West Midlands.
The pale purple flowers seemingly float above the leaves on a subtle cream background. The soft mix of cream and purple creates a beautiful effect and lends itself to the vase shapes used. MOORCROFT: The Making of Moorcroft Most pieces are still turned on the lathe to perfect the shape and provide a blemish-free surface for decorating. After turning the backstamps MOORCROFT and MADE IN STOKE-ON-TRENT ENGLAND are impressed into the clay together with a symbol which denotes the year of manufacture. Then the designs are applied by tube lining or slip trailing; a process by which the raised outline is applied to the pot in the form of a fine extrusion of liquid clay or slip squeezed through a glass tube from a bag held in the hand. Than the colors are based on metallic oxides and are applied entirely by hand, one color being gently washed over another to enable them to blend together at high temperature firstly with the clay pot and then with the transparent glaze. It is this second firing, which produces the brilliance of color, which has become the unique hallmark of Moorcroft Pottery. Short History of Moorcroft Pottery. William Moorcroft at the Washington Works, Burslem 1897, designed the first pieces of Moorcroft Pottery. It was in 1904 that the Moorcroft name first appeared in gold at the St.Louis International Exhibition with other following in 1910 (Brussels) and 1925 (Paris). In 1927 Queen Mary appointed W.Moorecroft Limited Potters to HM the Queen, an honor which William accepted on behalf of the company and which Walter Moorcoft also accepted in 1946 following his father’s death. After building the Cobridge Works, production of Moorcroft pottery continued throughout two World Wars with William in charge right up until his death in 1945. Moorcroft Pottery from this era can be found in museums throughout the world including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Walter Moorcroft took over his father’s role in 1945. In 1984 when the company was at low ebb financially, the Moorcroft family sold a controlling shareholding in their company to The Roper brothers, well-known and respected names in the ceramic industry. The roper brother’s involvement was short. In 1986 the Roper brothers sold their shareholding to Hugh Edwards.
