~ Moorcroft Queens Choice Squat Flagon Jug – Emma Bossons – 2001 ~
The Queens Choice is one of Moorcroft Pottery’s most popular ranges. Designed by Emma Bossons (FRSA), it immediately became Moorcroft’s best seller on its introduction in 2001.
It is shape code JU8. The large tube lined flower heads & fruits are glazed in rich tones of purple, green & red. The vase itself is a stunning midnight blue colour.
The base is stamped with the ‘c 2000’ date stamp and is lightly impressed with the ‘Moorcroft Made in Stock on Trent, England’ stamp.
~ Dimensions ~
The flagon has a height of 8 inches (20.3 cm), a width of 7 inches (17.8 cm) & a depth of 8 inches (20.3 cm).
It weighs 1.33 Kg.
~ Condition ~
The vase is in excellent condition. It has the red dot for a second though, we think due to a tiny glaze defect on the yellow band under the spout. This is not a reflection on the display of the piece but more a result of Moorcroft’s stringent quality control department. Perfects retail at £645.
