Seconds Master Of Disguise PLQ8 Plaque

The Peacock butterfly is a master of disguise. At rest, with its wings held tightly together over its back, the Peacock resembles a still leaf. When a predator gets close, the Peacock will abandon its disguise and adopt shock tactics instead. Repeatedly flicking open its wings, to expose suddenly bright, rust-coloured upperwing colours, with shimmering slices of gold, and its characteristic, large eye-spot markings which hold the purple hues of galaxies and nebulas, to stun predators.

Rachel utilises softer, Arts and Crafts pigments, to showcase this remarkable butterfly in terracotta, mustard yellow, olive green, deep blue and a deep crimson, all woven into the fabric of those famous, vibrant blue acanthus leaves championed by craftsman William Morris.

 

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.
