Moorcroft designer, Vicky Lovatt has often foraged for fungi over the years, bringing over a dozen utterly different varieties to everlasting ceramic life during her Moorcroft design career. Carmine Claremont holds a distinctly crisp, and autumnal palette, allowing the sharp colours of a woodland crop of fungi, flaunting their gills like petticoats, to take you into an exciting new season of Claremont. Rather than applying a flambe glaze, as would have been done in William’s era, Carmine Claremont is painted with metallic oxides that create a flambe colour palette for us to enjoy over a century since the first such pieces emerged from Moorcroft’s kiln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHE WILLIAM 150 COLLECTION\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTHE POTTER WHO OPENED THE DOOR TO MOORCROFT DESIGN, TECHNIQUE \u0026amp; ARTISTRY\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne hundred and fifty years ago, one of the most gifted potters of his generation, William Moorcroft, was born.
