Moorcroft Hermit Crab Vase, MCR-406.
Originally founded as a studio in 1897 within a large ceramic company, James Macintyre & Co. Moorcroft pottery soon made its mark on the world. Today, Moorcroft leads the world of art pottery with its own distinctive design style. We are proud to present this Moorcroft collection featuring stunning pottery designs.
Amazingly there are over 800 species of hermit crab, each carrying its own mobile shelter (most often a snail’s shell such as those of whelks or periwinkles). They feed on anything they can find on rocky shores, with tough pincers to help them and as they grow, they move into ever larger shells – forever moving house!
