Seconds Ladybird Poppy JU7 Jug

Designer, Nicola Slaney, has created a poignant poppy design featuring an unusually named variety of the wild flower, called ‘Ladybird’, after the large black spot at the base of each red petal. Below these emotive crimson red flowers can be discovered tiny ladybirds crawling across the poppy leaves. This design brings horticulture and nature together and reminds us all that from the bleakest wasteland, trampled by mankind, beauty and life can come forth and thrive for a new generation to appreciate.

For each Ladybird Poppy jug ordered before Sunday10th November 2024, Moorcroft will make a monetary donation to The Royal British Legion. The RBL was formed in 1921 to help members of the Royal Navy, British Army, Royal Air Force, veterans and their families. Their support starts after one day of service and continues for life, long after service is over.

 

What is a Moorcroft second? All our art pottery is closely inspected before it leaves the Moorcroft factory and the selection process is as rigorous as any in the world. As a result, not all pieces emerge unblemished in their quality assessment. The fault or faults may be in the finish of a piece, whether it be a tiny tubeline miss, an incorrectly painted petal, or a small glaze run. Seconds are not ‘red-dotted’, all of them are far too good for that, and each seconds piece has a charm and individuality of its own. Any fault is not structural and the piece can still be used for the purpose it was made.
