Rennie Rose by Moorcroft’s senior
designer, Rachel Bishop, is pure genius.
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!

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.
