A beautiful Moorcroft Illyarrie vase designed by Emma Bossons and produced exclusively for Australia in 2001. The vase features a striking raised tube-lined design inspired by the Australian Illyarrie flower, rendered in vibrant tones of red, yellow, green and blue against a rich deep cobalt ground. The decoration is finely executed in the traditional Moorcroft technique, with bold sculptural tube-lining defining the flowers and foliage and rich hand-applied glazes giving depth and brilliance to the design. The vivid colour palette and flowing natural forms create a strong decorative presence while retaining the distinctive craftsmanship for which Moorcroft is internationally renowned.
