Moorcroft Pottery Featured Vase
A key piece in the resurrection of Moorcroft Pottery, this ambitious limited edition was designed by Sally Tuffin who was a co-owner of the company at this time. Inspired by botanical drawings of rainforest flowers Sally produced a large vase that captured the wild beauty of the forest. John Moorcroft, William Moorcroft's son, was an important figure within the company, he signed this vase and a printed certificate that accompanies it. This rare vase made in 1993 is a key piece in Moorcroft's history and will make a substantial addition to any collection.

"Isle Of Wight Glass" Illyria Puck
Working with Timothy Harris of Isle of Wight Glass we have produced a number of designs over several years. The latest collaberation between the graphic design of Guy Thornton and the masterly skills of Timothy Harris is part of a series of pieces inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Guy has designed a pair of vases, Puck As Herne and Puck as Ostara which attempt to capture the spirit of Puck as shape-shifter. Isle of Wight Glass have made a beautiful crizzle vase with the design etched in a blue glass band.

aspects of the moon. This free form shape is jet black in reflected
light but with the light behind it reveals star like pinholes of clear
glass evoking a starry sky. |
