Moorcroft Acanthus Jug

H 24.00 x W 9.00 x D 11.00 cm

Designed by Kerry Goodwin

LTD ED 15

William Morris designed a number of wallpapers all with repeating patterns based on natural forms. Undoubtedly, the most famous of these was Acanthus, issued in two colour combinations - one in shades of green and the other in predominantly reddish-brown tones. Kerry re-visits the Arts & Craft flagship leaf with the ideas emanating from Morris in her mind - that a large, repeat pattern was actually more restful to look at than a small one; Acanthus was hung in one of the bedrooms of the famous Arts & Crafts house, Wightwick Manor.

Acanthus is a jug which pours out the purity, sensuousness and naturalistic inspiration found in Arts & Crafts design as intertwined acanthus leaves in shades of blue and green, set against a sophisticated dark blue ground, calm the soul.
