A Moorcroft vase in the Pomegranate design by William Moorcroft.
The height is 90mm.
The Pomegranate design was introduced 1910 i.e. while William Moorcroft was still with the James Macintyre works but was continued by him when he set up his own factory at Cobridge on the outskirts of Burslem in 1913.
Pomegranate became Moorcroft's most successful design and continued to be produced until the latter part of the 1930's with design updates along the way.
Condition:-
Antique and vintage items may have small imperfections and/or idiosyncrasies due to the manufacturing processes of the day, usage perhaps over many years and how an item has been stored. Any significant issues will always be highlighted in the description.
This vase has been closely inspected and assessed as in excellent condition with no chips, cracks or restoration noted. In fact the only issue thought worthy of separate mention is what might best be described as a small over glazed 'pimple' on the rim area, which can just be seen from the images.
There is a great deal of content in the design and the colours remain bright, which on the dark blue ground make for a very attractive item.
Availability:-
This Moorcroft vase in the pomegranate design is available by online order only, however if visiting the Antiques Centre in York please visit Cabinet 138 which is situated on the Lower Ground Floor to view other Moorcroft items from early vintage pieces to more modern times.
