Moorcroft Florian Blues Vase

LTD ED 10

H 12.5 cm

Created in both Florian Blue and a Blue-on-Blue engobe as two separate designs, Florian Blues harks back to the nostalgia of a Florian Daisy design by William Moorcroft c.1902 which held delicately structured Dahlberg daisy blooms, with bright yellow flowers. In this Florian design however, the yellow vibrancy had given way to pea-green tones in the central bloom and washed blue petals around the rim of the vase. Kerry felt that the crisp impact of blue could be raised by focusing purely on shades of blue. 
Colour psychology suggests that each shade of blue can carry a different meaning and evoke a different type of reaction. Common associations with the colour blue include calmness and serenity, with blue often found in nature, such as a calm sea and clear sky, as well as intelligence and productivity. Research shows people are more productive when working in spaces with blue tones - certain shades of blue can improve concentration, stimulate thinking and provide clarity. So, Moorcroft thought that there could be no better way to beat the blues this January and decided to launch this dynamic duo.
