Seconds Queen of the Annuals 4/5 Vase

Elegant, graceful and sweet smelling, the delicate sweet pea has graced our gardens for over 200 years and has been aptly described as ‘Queen of Annuals.’ This demure little vase holds soft, lavender-blue sweet peas which morph into cornflower blue and even dark purple-velvet tones, requiring highly delicate artistry. Interestingly, the colour purple is also extremely attractive to bees and other pollinators, which many species of bee and butterfly can see better than other colours such as red. So why not embrace the Arts and Crafts spirit and plant a multitude of sweet peas in your garden to celebrate Queen of the Annuals?

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.
