Moorcroft Pottery – Launching Liberty Ship – Designed by Paul Hilditch – 2015
A magnificent and highly decorative Moorcroft pottery vase entitled “Launching Liberty Ship”, designed by renowned Moorcroft designer Paul Hilditch in 2015.
This impressive vase features a beautifully detailed maritime scene depicting a magnificent multi-masted sailing ship making its way through dramatic rolling seas.
The ship is portrayed in full sail, with intricate rigging, billowing cream-coloured sails and richly detailed hull, surrounded by swirling waves in deep cobalt blue, turquoise and sea-green glazes.
The design wraps around the generously proportioned bulbous body, revealing further views of the sailing vessel, creating a wonderful continuous maritime composition.
The vase has an elegant elongated, gently tapering neck, finishing with a flared rim in a rich midnight-blue glaze, which gradually fades into the soft ivory background.
A superb example of modern Moorcroft craftsmanship, displaying the traditional tube-lined decoration for which the Staffordshire pottery is internationally renowned.
