Moorcroft Limited Edition A Jar of Nuthatches Vase, MCR-290
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.
A lone nuthatch with short tail, and large head, points its beak into the air as he perches on the bulbous finial of a wrought iron gate. Behind him, a straight path and manicured hedge leads to the frontal façade of a sleepy red bricked house. Above, streaked silver birch twist and curl as if defying the clean architectural lines, and curiously mimic the black-capped and white breasted markings of the Nuthatch. Below, a little mouse can be seen scurrying into a thicket of ripe, plump blackberries.
In Paul’s inimitable style, the detail in this design is alluring. Journey away from the path leading directly to the entrance and towards the rear of the property, where an orangery lies in the distance, past an ornamental birdbath. A Jar of Nuthatches take centre stage as they peck into the blackberry thicket, balancing on the wrought iron rail heads. This time, Paul positions his birds to ensure that their nut-brown plumage is given prominence, echoing the hues within the bricks of the house itself.
