Seconds Robin hoods Bay 200/8 Vase

This picturesque old fishing village on the Heritage Coast of the North York Moors holds houses with unusual angles and curious structures that seem to merge into each other. As a golden light pours out of timber framed windows, you can simply imagine the stories of the sea that were told there by the locals centuries ago.

Robin Hood’s Bay is a perfect place for smuggling - it is very isolated and has a protected harbour that is surrounded on three sides by marshland. It had gained its reputation as a smuggler's haunt by the 18th century. Indeed, it is said, that at this time most of its population was involved in smuggling in some way. Every house had its own secret hiding place and tunnels linking to them. Indeed, legends say that a bale of silk could be easily transferred from the harbour at Robin Hood's Bay to the clifftops without even leaving the houses.

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.
