Seconds Blue Ridge Parkway 365/20 Vase

Across our planet there are still some remarkable areas of outstanding beauty, some of which have been clearly on the visiting list of one of the most prolific designers at Moorcroft and her family. Joining Nicola Slaney, were her three daughters and ever-loyal husband Gary, of more than 20 years standing, whose exploratory holidays took them to remote parts of the United States. For many this would be a feat on its own, but to return with a portfolio of designs for her beloved Moorcroft is another thing altogether.

In 2019, it was the turn of the Blue Ridge Parkway to greet Nicola Slaney’s travelling family. The Blue Ridge Mountains were there to be discovered. In geographical terms, these awe-inspiring mountains are actually part of the Appalachian Range. Along the spine of the Blue Ridge range, runs the Blue Ridge Parkway, a road made up of 469 miles of scenic extravagance through 29 Virginian and North Carolinian counties and linking the Shenandoah National Park to the Great Smokey Mountain National Park in the process. To have chosen Moorcroft’s 365/20 shape was a stroke of brilliance. It gives the design a feeling of height and distance with the parkway itself meandering through mountains and forests as if it were chasing destiny itself.

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.
