An antique Moorcroft vase in the Pomegranate design by William Moorcroft.
The diameter (widest section of body) is 80mm and the height is 69mm.
The impressed MOORCROFT and MADE IN ENGLAND stamps on the base along with the impressed shape identification number indicate a date range c1918 to 1926.
(Referral to reference book advises there are similar to stamps found from 1926 to 1928 but without the shape identification number due to a change in the manufacturing process).
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.
This vase has been closely inspected and assessed as in excellent condition.
There is a great deal of content in the design which includes one open pomegranate and three closed pomegranates around the outer surface.
An opportunity for a collector to add a piece of antique Moorcroft pottery from the highly collectable pomegranate range, to a collection.
While beautiful Moorcroft items are still been produced, antique pieces have an appeal of their own and indeed many are now part of collections.
This antique Moorcroft vase in the pomegranate design is available by online order only, however if visiting the Antiques Centre in York please view Cabinet 138 situated on the Lower Ground Floor where other pieces of Moorcroft Pottery can be viewed.
