Purple-crown Fairy-wren 80/6 Vase

Cleverly, Emma makes good use of the little six-inch shape, showcasing how the plumage varies between the sexes of the Purple-crowned Fairy-wren. Sporting a crown of bright purple surrounded by black, the Moorcroft designer tucks the male into the female’s ochreous belly as she lowers her chestnut cheek patches and grey head-cap to scratch in the leaf litter in search of seeds in the riparian vegetation in northern Australia. Yet it is their bright-blue perky tails that dart up the neck of the vase which really make this design so delicately balanced, possibly even challenging the hallowed ground of the Rainbow Bee-eater with exceptional design – size, after all, is not everything.
