Seconds Perfect Harmony 35/7 Vase

Always a welcome splash of colour to mark the warmer part of winter, hellebores come in more than twenty different sub species with flowers ranging from white and cream to dark maroon edging towards black. The variety chosen by Nicola Slaney is Helleborus ‘Niger’, which takes its name from its black roots, while the flower itself is white – a juxta positioning of colours in perfect harmony. Development has been relatively recent with much of it happening at Ashwood Nurseries themselves. Although a dull, dark green in summer, it is in winter that hellebores thrive and give to our gardens that sensation of warmth that colour always delivers to cold parts of the year. Nicola’s hellebores grow up from ground level and wind themselves gently around the vase before bursting into full bloom just below the shoulder of the vase.

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.
