Carousel Charge No. 150

Moorcroft ‘Carousel’ pattern limited edition charger as designed by Rachel Bishop circa 1997. 
The Centenary Carousel was the 14” Charger carrying a mix of fruit and flowers, all of which had been used by Moorcroft designers at one time or another during the preceding ninety-nine years. Spinning away from the Charger were four more Rachel Bishop designed vases all using a combination of woodsmoke and jade as ground colours and each developed around a section of the main Charger.
 
The Carousel had 5 numbered editions with each piece in the Carousel range given a unique number. Launched to celebrate the Moorcroft centenary in 1997.
