Seconds The Bellows 162/5 Vase

Flying fish tumble and twist into crests of Art Deco waves. Soothingly, the fish shoals include vertical and horizontal line work as they disappear into the deep offering the mythical possibility that someone was opening and closing the bellows of an accordion. The fish jive in oceans of colour as they curl into a rolling geometric shoal where they release their own water bubbles which hang like ballroom glass balls over trapezoidal fins which dart like a thousand chevrons under and over the swirl.

Celebrity auctioneer and antiques expert, Eric Knowles, was immediately drawn to a trial of this design, with its highly distinct Art Deco overtones when it first emerged from the kiln. He immediately heralded the design as an exciting twist on traditional Art Deco design for all to admire.

What is a Moorcroft second?
All our art pottery is closely inspected before it leaves the Moorcroft factory and the selection process is as rigorous as any in the world. As a result, not all pieces emerge unblemished in their quality assessment. The fault or faults may be in the finish of a piece, whether it be a tiny tubeline miss, an incorrectly painted petal, or a small glaze run. Seconds are not ‘red-dotted’, all of them are far too good for that, and each seconds piece has a charm and individuality of its own. Any fault is not structural and the piece can still be used for the purpose it was made.
