An early William Moorcroft "Pomegranate" Vase

William Moorcroft was educated at the Wedgwood Institute, Burslem, and at South Kensignton where he was influenced by the design styles of William Morris and the artist Walter Crane. His tublined, decorated art pieces were always signed and this early "Pomegranate" vase, dating from 1915, is an good example of the high quality of his work.

Now hugely popular with collectors his work was largely ignored until a 1973 exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum introduced his work to a wider audience and established his position as a major artist/potter.
