Seconds Tobermory 162/5 Vase

With the smell of salt and seaweed in the seemingly incessant wind blowing around the Scottish Island of Mull, the small town of Tobermory clings to the shoreline. Tobermory was founded in 1786 as an ideal place for a fishing settlement complete with a natural harbour. Today, it is as picturesque as it has always been and as if to add to the atmosphere, a Gaelic song made famous by the late Bing Crosby called Tobermory Bay, has made its own special contribution to the little town. The small, painted cottages still stand around the curving harbourside and it was these little houses which first captured Vicky’s imagination. The scenic mix is almost intoxicating in its beauty and not surprisingly, Vicky finished her day with a folder full of preliminary sketches. showing Tobermory with all its magical charm.

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.
