A vintage Moorcroft baluster shaped vase in the Magnolia design by Walter Moorcroft.
The bright magnolia flowers on the dark blue ground make for a very attractive and decorative piece of art pottery.
The height of the vase is 90mm.
Regarding age it can often be difficult to state with absolute certainty as it was not until 1990 that Moorcroft began using year cyphers to show when an item was actually made.
With this vase however the date range can be narrowed down as the style of the impressed MOORCROFT and MADE IN ENGLAND marks on the base suggest a date range c1949 to 1986 but as this design was introduced in 1976 the date of production should therefore be from 1976 to 1986.
The vase is clearly of genuine vintage age.
This item has been closely inspected and assessed as in excellent vintage condition.
This vintage Moorcroft vase with magnolia design is available online or at the Antiques Centre in York i.e. Cabinet 138 situated on the Lower Ground Floor where other items of Moorcroft Pottery can be viewed, from early vintage pieces to more modern examples.
