This piece depicting hugh edwards love of moorcrofts past pieces

Emma created Guardian Angel. The first third of the surface of the 4/8 vase represents the era of William with its early pomegranate and cornflower images. In the second third of the surface, it is raining hard on Walter Moorcroft�s Coral Hibiscus and Campanula.

Hard times � and it was certainly pouring with rain on the 16th September 1986 when I first walked through the door into Moorcroft. After that, the sun comes out and shines on the third section. Design-lines burst into full bloom with butterflies, fruit, poppies and other colourful flowers. Even the sought-after tangerine pansy makes a welcome cameo appearance! In other words, the three visual sections of Guardian Angel represent Emma�s three ages of Moorcroft.

The Circle of Life Collection reflects on how hugh and his wife maureen bought a run down moorcroft in 1986 and with the help of the workers and as a team they have for the last 25 years been at the helm of one of the last prestige pottery's in burslem stoke on trent. which this collection celebrates
