A vintage boxed Moorcroft pin dish in the Leicester design by Rachel Bishop.
The base markings show the pin dish design copyright date i.e. ©1995 with the 'Gate ' year cypher showing 1996 as the actual year the pin dish was made.
Rachel Bishop joined Moorcroft in 1993 hence the Leicester design is one of her earlier works. She was only the forth designer in the company's history and quickly established herself as a senior designer. Rachael Bishop's designs are now widely collected.
The diameter is 118mm and the height 19mm.
The pin dish is in excellent overall condition.
The box is in an excellent structural condition with only minor 'foxing' to the inner surfaces.
