Moorcroft, that quintessentially English pottery company is presently displaying its latest ranges at that most English of snowdrop sanctuaries, Hodsock Priory. You have only Saturday and Sunday to visit. The first pot here is specially made for the exhibition and I have taken a few images of the snowdrop/hepatica/winter themed ranges. There's a lecture and demonstration in the morning and various experts on hand to guide you. We were all given a £50 money off voucher and there was a definite queue of buyers so it seems a commercial success. I didn't part with my voucher however although I was tempted by the very large owl at the end. The ticket price of £4000 was admittedly a distraction. There were however other discounted pieces to tempt most pockets.
I would have found it hard to walk away empty handed.
ReplyDeleteBut. Eye watering prices, especially from South Africa.
The owl vase was an exception in terms of price. Typically the cost was in the low hundreds. Queues though.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! How much was the new snowdrop Hodsock Vase? I love that one, thanks for the gallery of photos .
