Moorcroft Pottery Ampulla Vase 5/4- Vases|Moorcroft Pottery

The ampulla dates back to Roman time, and was a small round vessel with two handles, used for sacred purposes. The designer, Nicola Slaney, wanted to emulate this ancient shape with her contemporary design and so Moorcroft’s classic twin-handled vase has been reimagined for King Charles III’s coronation on a new and smaller shape to mark this very special historic occasion. Oranges and burnished brown cinnamon sticks sit amongst white roses with soft cream shading at their centers, and small star-shaped jasmine flowers — all set against the dramatic backdrop of a classic Moorcroft dark blue ground.
