A small Vintage Moorcroft footed bowl in the Columbine design by Walter Moorcroft.
The diameter of the bowl is 81mm and the height 35mm.
Regarding age, it can be difficult to assess with absolute certainty as some production runs could be quite long, and it was not until 1990 that Moorcroft began using year cyphers to show when an item was actually made. As there is no year cypher on the vase the latest possible date of manufacture would be c1989.
Columbine was Walter Moorcroft's first independent design, drawn in 1947. Small numbers were produced until the early 1980's when he then designed a full range, initially on blue grounds but other colours followed.
The backstamps on the base and their positioning suggest an actual date range c1949 to 1986
From the detail above the bowl is clearly of genuine vintage age.
Condition: Vintage items may have imperfections due to the manufacturing processes of the day, usage perhaps over many years and how an item has been stored. Any significant issues will always be highlighted in the description and high quality images are provided.
The bowl has been closely inspected and assessed as in excellent vintage condition.
