A vintage Moorcroft pin dish in the Finch design by Sally Tuffin.
The diameter is 119mm and the height 19mm.
The finch design on green colourway was introduced in 1991 and withdrawn at the end of 1992 so there was not a long production run.
This pin dish has the impressed bell mark on the base which is the year cypher for 1991 hence showing 1991 as the year the pin dish was made.
Sally Tuffin was already a recognised designer when she joined Moorcroft in 1986 and took over the full responsibility for design following Walter Moorcroft's retirement in 1987. She was in fact only the third designer, after William and Walter Moorcroft, since the company began.
Sally Tuffin designs are now very collectable.
The pin dish is in excellent condition.
This finch design pin dish 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.
