Seconds Sunburst 223/4 Lidded Box

It is a rare occasion which enables you to make a generous gesture to a wonderful charity and secure a fine piece of Moorcroft for yourself at one and the same time. With pride, and considerable happiness, Moorcroft designed Sunburst to raise funds for Douglas Macmillan Hospice (known locally as Dougie Mac) as the sunflower is the floral emblem of the charity. Designer Vicky Lovatt’s flowers are warm and colourful and have a sense of surging movement as their golden-yellow petals reach up to the heavens, just as humans would do with their arms outstretched upwards to sun-filled skies above.

The lidded box was designed as a numbered edition for Dougie Mac’s 40th ruby anniversary in 2013. To celebrate the milestone achievement of Dougie Mac reaching their golden 50th birthday this Valentine’s Day, Moorcroft are re-releasing the last few pieces of Sunburst. When you acquire a Sunburst box, all the retail profit from your purchase will go directly to support the charity.

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.
