A Contemporary Masterpiece: Moorcroft "Anna Lily" Flared Vase Celebrate the vibrant artistry of Nicola Slaney’s most iconic design with this beautiful 20.5 cm flared vase. While the "Anna Lily" pattern was first introduced in 1998. The Artistry & Design: The "Anna Lily" range is a modern triumph of tube lining—the historic Moorcroft process where liquid clay (slip) is hand-trailed onto the piece to create raised outlines. These outlines are then hand-painted with metallic oxide glazes that transform in the kiln. This vase features a dramatic indigo-to-cream gradient, providing a striking backdrop for the flowing rouge and amber lilies.
