It was Moorcroft’s take on flambé glazes that produced the highest price at Bonhams’ latest Ceramic Design sale.
No directly comparable version of this 12in (31cm) high
double-gourd Carp design, by William Moorcroft, signed, date
stamped for 1914 and with maker's mark, has yet surfaced on the
market, although the Harriman Judd collection featured a similar
green and blue version that fetched $15,000 (£10,200 ) at Sotheby's
in 2001.
Collector and dealer interest took Bonhams' vase to
£16,000.
