seconds Tree Sparrows PLQ3 Plaque

Every now and again, a great design will emerge from Moorcroft – one which, by its very nature, will cause heads to turn and collectors to open their doors and bring it into their homes. These designs do not have to cost a fortune to be wrapped in that prized cloak of greatness. Indeed, their simplicity can bring them from nowhere to play with our emotions and remain with us for ever thereafter. There can hardly be a less likely subject for greatness than a group of seven tree sparrows, their plain brown and grey-fawn plumage with tell-tale black cheek spots, can hardly be said to come from the regal world of peacocks, yet here they are, posturing happily on the simplest of Moorcroft plaques. These seven sparrows is a design lining itself up to become a great piece of Moorcroft.

 

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.
