Seconds Stairway To Heaven 7/7 Vase

For many years Moorcroft has created designs of remembrance featuring poppies. However, very rarely do the service personnel whom we are remembering feature in a Moorcroft design. Exceptions to this have come in the form of Preparing to Scramble, a numbered edition plaque, by designer Paul Hilditch and Lest we Forget, a highly emotive numbered vase featuring soldiers in the battlefields of Europe, by Kerry Goodwin from 2018.

Six years on, and Kerry has created a new design, Stairway to Heaven, that once again sees the silhouettes of men surrounded by red poppies. As you rotate the vase the scene changes, with the soldiers amongst the flowering poppy fields. Above them the sun’s rays lead your eye to the top of the design where the eternal rays of light rain down on the men for eternity.

For each Stairway to Heaven vase ordered before Sunday 10th 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.
