Moorcroft Dutch Pink Discovery Vase

H 17.5cm

Designed By Emma Bossons
Ltd Ed 10

In Jane Austen’s home in Chawton, fragments of historic wallpaper were discovered in the Drawing Room in the late 1940s. The wallpaper design dates from about 1800 and is based on a vine leaf. It is printed in red and ‘Dutch Pink’, a yellow pigment that was popular in the Regency period.
Emma’s vase has a soft, muted colour palette using a soft clotted cream coloured clay, which helps to add to the heritage feel of the design. Each of the myriad tiny dots along the stems of each vine leaf have been tubelined by hand, one at a time.
