Moorcroft Pottery Dragon Vase – William John Moorcroft – Tube-Lined, 1987 – England
Offered here is a striking Moorcroft Pottery Dragon Vase, issued circa 1987 and crafted in England using the iconic raised tube-lining technique. This globular vase features a boldly modeled dragon in vivid crimson and violet tones, wrapped around a deep cobalt ground. The sculptural detail and dramatic coloration highlight Moorcroft’s signature artistry and the studio’s mastery of high-fired glazes.
The vase is signed “WM” on the underside and carries the traditional Moorcroft backstamp. A beautifully executed example from the late 20th century, it showcases the brand’s continued legacy of handcrafted, collector-grade pottery.
