Description

A rare elegantly shaped large William Moorcroft wisteria and plum patterned signed vase. The vase has a stunning cobalt blue ground with yellow, pink and purple wisteria plums. An excellent piece for the serious Moorcroft collector, made in Burslem. There are impressed marks to the base, Moorcroft, Made in England, and a Walter Moorcroft signature mark. Early Walter Moorcroft initials used a slate blue colour to differentiate it from his father Williams. Walters full signature mark -as seen on the photo- was only used on important pieces, one of pieces for exhibition or limited editions.

The condition is consistent with age and use, it has good overall condition with age related crazing to the yellow wisteria plums on close inspection. There is also a tiny possible chip in the glaze, only visible when the vase is laid down see the purple plum photo.
