Seconds Eriskay Ponies 869/9 Vase

Limited Edition
Vase

If you head North-West of Glasgow, you can travel by boat to the remote Hebridean Island of Eriskay. Given its diminutive size, Eriskay is famous. It was on this wild, bleak terrain that in 1745 Bonnie Prince Charlie first landed in Scotland. Almost two centuries later, silver-grey ponies were seen heaving and pulling a heavy cargo of whisky barrels from the from the wrecked ship, SS Politician. From that incident, the story ‘Whisky Galore’ was born. Today, the Eriskay ponies are a critically endangered species, with only 400 left worldwide, but that is an improvement on the 1970’s when the extinction bell was tolling. Vicky shows us Eriskay with all of its rocky grandeur although on the reverse we are treated to a beach and an altogether gentler landscape. Her Eriskay ponies are a ghostly silver-grey, grazing on tough grass among the rocks, their manes swishing in a strong, Hebridean wind.

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. 

The 'Was' price shown is the Best Quality RRP of this design and shape.
