Australia’s most charismatic bird the Gang Gang Cockatoo is now to be part of a small exclusive limited edition painstakingly outlined in three different panelled images in liquid clay, before being hand painted on the prestigious, 4\/10 Moorcroft shape. Kerry Goodwin has designed the pair of male and female Gang Gang cockatoos with the flair and flamboyance of Camilla Franks as they perch proudly on Golden Wattle with heads tucked in tightly together as they peruse the world in a vibrant cacophony of Moorcroft glazes. A demure slate grey body, and a scarlet red head and crest on the male bird, with the feathers of the underparts of the female edged in riveting salmon pink and mustard yellow to contrast against her dark grey body, quite literally create a buzz of excitement against the clear, Bondi-beach blue ground.

The competition stated that only “\u003cem\u003egenuinely original modern designs will be considered\u003c\/em\u003e” and that “\u003cem\u003eit is permissible and even desirable that an Architect and a Decorative Artist of modern tastes develop and submit the design jointly\u003c\/em\u003e”. This unusual rule meant that both Charles and Margaret, could work together on their submission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSadly, their design was disqualified due to the late entry of a number of interior views. For more than 80 years, the competition entry remained only to be found on paper, until, in 1989, the idea to finally build the House for an Art Lover took shape. Over the next seven years the house was constructed with builders working hard to achieve the “\u003cem\u003epronounced personal quality, novel and austere form and the uniform configuration of interior and exterior\u003c\/em\u003e\" that the Macintoshes’ design had been lauded for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1996, House for an Art Lover opened and today visitors from around the world journey to see this modern interpretation of the Mackintoshes’ design. Designers, Emma Bossons and Kerry Goodwin, were no exception, and both were bowled over not only by the size, scale and majesty of the building itself but also by the crisp, white modern interiors and the colourful gardens that surround this historic building.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes, history repeats itself, and Moorcroft’s prestige House for an Art Lover vase sees both Emma and Kerry as joint designers, just as Charles and Margaret were 121 years ago. Kerry was the first to start work on the design, recreating the building with its numerous windows, and ornate frontice panel of two ladies carved in stone. Emma then took over the design reins, adding the flowers, Scottish thistles and blue birds, to bring colour and movement to the Mackintoshes’ architectural gem. The end result - a prestige vase that celebrates both architecture and the decorative arts in equal measure – the very thing that the original 1901 competition set out to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLET GLASGOW FLOURISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharles Rennie Mackintosh is Scotland’s most celebrated architect and designer of the 20th century.

Magnificent storks also grace the vase, just as they adorned the furnishings of the aristocracy and their sliding doors and screens in temples and castles. Their owners suggested that they were symbols of longevity and prosperity and used them to display congratulatory messages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch a prestigious work of Japanese inspired art would not be complete without geishas.
