A Moorcroft Pen Tray in the Calla Lily design by Emma Bossons.
The length is 200mm, the width 85mm and the height 18mm.
The backstamp ©2001 shows this as the design copyright date. The design was then introduced the following year in 2002. The 'Nib' symbol on the base is the year cypher for 2003 which shows this as the actual year the pen tray was made.
A particularly attractive design which features in at least one Moorcroft catalogue (2002).
The pen tray and box are both in excellent condition. Nb. There is also a plain outer sleeve, with a few marks and some writing, which has obviously done its job very well in protecting the inner box.
This Calla Lily pen tray is available online only however if visiting the Antiques Centre in York please visit Cabinet 138 situated on the Lower Ground Floor to view other items of Moorcroft Pottery, from early vintage pieces to more modern examples.
