Moorcroft Anemone Vase

This is quite a rare design and signed by Walter Moorcroft himself - made in approx. 1947-1953 it stands 9 inches tall and is in exceptional condition. Walter Moorcroft assumed the responsibilities of sole Moorcroft designer in 1945. Design continued to evolve under the stewardship of Walter, as he developed his own style which experts say matured in the 1950s. It was Walter who introduced many exotic flowers into Moorcroft design. A dramatic use of colour began to emerge from the Moorcroft kilns after Wwii, and coming as they did in the wake of the sombre mood of war, this was a welcome change.
