A stunning and lovely companion piece to its larger sister vase, this rare and pristine William Moorcroft Iris pattern Florian Ware vase, circa 1898, is also crafted in the iconic ballester shape, and stands as a timeless testament to the artistry and innovation of early 20th-century British ceramics. The vase’s elegant, rounded body and slender, flaring neck—echoing the classic baluster form—provide a perfect canvas for Moorcroft’s celebrated iris motif, rendered in the unmistakable Art Nouveau style.

Description
Sweeping stems and arching petals of irises come to life through Moorcroft’s signature tube-lining technique: each outline is delicately piped in liquid clay, creating a raised, tactile contour that accentuates every curve and detail. Deep cobalt and sapphire blues, accented with subtle washes of purple, green, and yellow, evoke the richness of a tranquil garden at dusk, while the intricate underglaze painting imparts a luminous, almost ethereal quality to the floral design.
Individually hand-decorated and bearing Moorcroft’s personal mark, this vase exemplifies both technical mastery and artistic vision. More than a vessel, each piece is a work of art—cherished by collectors for its beauty, rarity, and the enduring legacy of William Moorcroft’s Florian Ware.
