seconds King of the fishers PLQ11 Plaque

The kingfisher is usually glimpsed as a sudden flash of electric blue, darting over water before diving to claim its prize… prey which can often be heavier than bird itself. This tiny but colourful bird is a splendid sight, bathing in sunlight on a waterside perch. Yet sadly they are vulnerable to hard winters and habitat degradation through pollution or unsympathetic management of watercourses. Kingfishers are amber listed because of their unfavourable conservation status in Europe. In Rachel’s design, a contented little kingfisher perches upon delicate grasses, poised to take flight and dart away at a moment’s notice.

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.
