Moorcroft Hibiscus Pattern Trinket Box

Small Hibiscus Pattern Moorcroft Pottery trinket box. 9cm x 6.5cm x 4cm. As new condition. 

These small, decorative boxes are typically crafted from earthenware and feature the classic Moorcroft tube-lining technique. This process involves applying liquid clay (slip) through a squeeze bag to create raised outlines for the design, which are then filled with rich colourful glazes. The Hibiscus pattern itself is characterised by bold, stylised depictions of the tropical flower, often rendered in shades of pink, red, and yellow, set against a variety of background glazes, with green and blue grounds being particularly common.
