Seconds Maya 200/8 Vase

Native to South Africa, freesias are often said to represent the silhouettes of ballet dancers with their elegant poise. Nicola Slaney has captured these delicate zygomorphic blooms in a vibrant collection, Maya, named after the famous Russian ballet dancer, Maya Plisetskaya. Striking funnel-blooms in violaceous, soft cotton-pinks and pale, turquoise flutter upwards in a fouetté. Against an ivory ground, slender stalks stand straight with pinnately compound leaves. As if choreographed, an abundance of mustard-buds bend in a plié to finish this elegant design.

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.
