William Moorcroft Pomegranate Pattern Baluster Vases – Circa 1912–1913

1900 - 1920
Description

William Moorcroft Pomegranate Pattern Baluster Vases – Circa 1912–1913

A delightful near-pair of early William Moorcroft Pomegranate pattern baluster vases, dating to circa 1912–1913, beautifully decorated in rich ochre, green, and deep red tones.

Featuring the iconic Pomegranate design, with whole and sliced fruits amongst stylised foliage and berries, both vases display the wonderful tube-lined decoration and vibrant glazes for which Moorcroft pottery is so highly regarded.

Although not an exact matching pair, with one vase standing very slightly taller than the other, they complement each other beautifully and make a particularly attractive display.

Condition: Both vases present extremely well, with lovely strong colouring. One has a small chip to the underside of the base rim, which is barely noticeable when displayed and does little to detract from their overall appearance.

A wonderfully decorative pair, full of character and colour, ideal for Moorcroft collectors or anyone looking to introduce a splash of classic British Arts and Crafts design into a contemporary or traditional interior.

This near-pair of baluster vases dates from the 1910 period in the Arts and Crafts style, manufactured from glazed earthenware ceramic. The vessels are finished in an ochre ground with hand-painted, tube-lined decoration depicting whole and sliced pomegranates in deep red, alongside purple berries and green foliage. One vase exhibits a small chip to the underside of the base rim, while both display strong colouring across their bulbous ceramic bodies. Each vase stands approximately 22 cm in height. These pieces sit well upon a mantelpiece in an English Country House setting, serving as decorative accents in a contemporary or traditional interior. They are suitable for display by collectors of British studio ceramics or as ornamental vessels for interior styling.

The Arts and Crafts movement emphasised handcrafted artistry, natural motifs, and visible maker technique over industrial mass production. Ceramics from this era frequently feature stylized flora and fauna, rich lead glazes, and tactile surface details such as slip-trailing or tubelining.

Tubelined pottery is made from earthenware or stoneware clay shaped on a wheel or in a mould. Craftsmen apply raised lines of liquid clay slip using a small nozzle to outline motifs before filling the sections with coloured lead-based glazes prior to firing.

Authentic items typically display impressed factory marks, stamped serial numbers, or painted artist initials on the underside. Examination of glaze crazing, weight, hand-applied slip outlines, and period-appropriate colour palettes also assists in identification.

A pair of baluster vases can be arranged symmetrically on a mantelpiece, console table, or sideboard to create balance. Their rich tones integrate well into neutral decorative schemes or complement darker timber surfaces.

Glazed ceramics should be dusted regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging earthenware in water or using abrasive chemicals, as moisture can penetrate glaze crazing and cause internal damage or discoloration.
