This Arts and Crafts earthenware vase displays a squat body and a flared neck, rendered in shades of terracotta, purple, and green against a deep cobalt blue glazed background. Designed by William Moorcroft during the 1920 period, the piece exhibits hand-painted tubelined decoration in the pomegranate pattern with berries and foliage, complemented by a glossy finish and a smooth, rounded silhouette. The base holds green signature markings alongside impressed stamps for Moorcroft and Burslem production. Practical measurements reach 9.9 cm high, 11.4 cm wide, and 11.4 cm deep. Placement suits a mantelpiece or a side table within an English Country House interior setting, where it functions as a decorative vessel for small floral stems or stands independently as a cabinet piece. Maintenance requires gentle cleaning with a soft cloth to preserve the glazed earthenware surface and the intricate painted motifs. The compact proportions allow placement on narrow surfaces and display shelves without dominating the surrounding space.

FAQs

Designed by William Moorcroft in the early 20th century, the Pomegranate pattern became one of the manufacturers most iconic motifs, defined by tubelined fruit and foliage set against deep blue and rich terracotta grounds.

Moorcroft ceramics were hand-thrown using earthenware clay and decorated with liquid slip outlining, known as tubelining, before being hand-painted with coloured glazes and kiln-fired.

Authentic Moorcroft items feature distinct raised tubelined outlines alongside impressed factory stamps on the base, such as MOORCROFT or MADE IN ENGLAND, often accompanied by a hand-painted signature or initials.

A Moorcroft ceramic piece works exceptionally well as a decorative focal point on a mantelpiece, open bookshelf, or sideboard, adding historic character and deep colour accents to modern or traditional spaces.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry cloth and avoid exposing the piece to harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or prolonged immersion in water to protect the glaze and preserve structural integrity.
