First conceptualized by managing director Walter Moorcroft in 1949, the exotic Hibiscus design became an enduring cornerstone for the Stoke-on-Trent studio. In 1968, the pottery introduced the elegant Coral Hibiscus variation, opting for a softer, more delicate colour palette. The rich coral blooms and deep foliage on this piece are meticulously executed using Moorcroft’s signature slip-trailing technique, creating a striking dimensional contrast against the soft backdrop. Given its scale and historical pedigree, this is an investment-grade acquisition for fine decorative art collections.
