Vineyard Glory

A vineyard's autumnal haze, where glossy green vines are tinged with saffron-colour earth, is captured in a few choice clusters of grapes that hang in plump abundance from the ridge of the vase. As amber leaves veil the rich-red grapes that hang between its long arcades of gold and green, the eye climbs up towards the winery to appreciate the Vineyard Glory.

Whilst succulent vines are the darling of still-life paintings, symbolizing life's transience, grapes and vines also offer an abundance of other themes in art, including sensuality, fruitfulness, kingship, riches, fertility and as for wine itself, new beginnings and sacred covenants. The representation of vines in Moorcroft art pottery go back to some of William Moorcroft's earliest and most iconic designs: Grapes for Liberty & Co in 1906; and his iconic Pomegranate, featuring succulent, rich, burgundy grapes - one of the first designs to flow out of our colossal bottle oven in 1914 with a band of fruit against a mottled green and ochre ground.
