: : came across a moorecroft vase on ebay and fell in love. I won the 
: : auction but since I'm new to moorecroft, I'd like more info on the vase 
: : I bought. It's ebay item # is 170233447540 I would appreciate any 
: : info such as the name, year it came out, and opinions on
: : : wheter Ihear  paid fair market value or paid too much.

: : Your vase is in William Moorcroft’s orchid design, drawn around 1937. 
: : This version, with little white flowers as well as the usual frilled orchid 
: : and slipper orchid, is sometimes called orchids and spring flowers. 
: : It’s almost certainly a Walter Moorcroft piece from the late 1940s - as 
: : suggested by the colourway, style and label - and the price you paid 
: : was probably about right. But I’m surprised you fell in love with 
: : Moorcroft on the basis of this vase. (Not to my taste at all!) The 
: : earlier William Moorcroft pieces, although generally a lot more 
: : expensive, are infinitely more artistic and a much better investment.

: Thank You for response. Joanne
