Seconds View To Montmartre PLQ16 Plaque

Montmartre is a large hill in northern Paris which gives its name to the surrounding district and is most famous for its artistic history and for the white-domed Basilica of the Sacré-Cœur on its summit. From Sacré-Cœur’s dome towering above the Seine, the basilica overlooks the entire city of Paris and its suburbs. It is the second most popular tourist destination in the capital after the Eiffel Tower.

Near the end of the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th century, during the Belle Époque, many artists lived, worked, or had studios in or around Montmartre, including Degas, Monet, Picasso, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec and van Gogh. Over a hundred years on and Montmartre is still inspiring designers today, including Vicky Lovatt.

Vicky’s View to Montmartre takes you on a journey as you wind your way along the treelined boulevards, slowly climbing ever higher towards the Sacré-Cœur at the top of the scene. Walking past colourful cafes and restaurants, the Parisian shutters are thrown open in welcome and the scent of wisteria hangs in the air, as the purple and lilac flowers cascade from the buildings and walls that flank the cobbled narrow streets.

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.
