In a decadent display of colour, it foregrounds claret roses that melt into lavender-purples with the same depth of hue found in the velvety, sweetscented roses of traditional cottage gardens. Without a doubt the Moorcroft designers of today have the colourtrained eye of horticulturists. If space permitted, we could show many more Moorcroft floral designs that fuse the forms within surface patterns and shapes with the wonderful contrasting Moorcroft glazes to create a true feast for the eye – a feast that any flower arranger would appreciate! CATHERINE GAGE The ‘Anna Lily’ range from Moorcroft designer Nicola Slaney has remained a popular choice for collectors since it was first launched over fifteen years ago.
