A Moorcroft pin dish in the Lamia design © 1995 by Rachel Bishop.
A tranquil scene including flowers, leaves, reeds and bull rushes on a dark ground.
The impressed 'Gate' symbol on the base is the 'year cypher' for 1996 showing this as the actual year the pin dish was made.
Rachel Bishop joined Moorcroft in 1993 as only the forth designer in the company's history and quickly established herself as a senior designer, and her designs are now widely collected.
This pin dish is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks and only the most minor amount of crazing present, commensurate with age.
This Lamia pin dish is available online only however if planning to visit the Antiques Centre in York further items of Moorcroft pottery, from early vintage pieces to more modern examples, can be viewed in Cabinet 138 situated on the lower ground floor.
