Mid Sized Planter - Moira Pottery - Hillstonia

 
Wonderful vintage mid-sized planter from the Hillstonia range by the Moira Pottery. The planter is conical with diagonal lines on the rim and considering the pottery closed in the early 70s it is in nigh on immaculate condition. I suspect it has never been used.

Vintage Stoneware Brick Effect Planter - Hillstonia - Moira Pottery



Large stoneware planter from the Hillstonia range by Moira Pottery. It's six sided, with two longer sides and a brick textured finish with a glossy glaze. Moira was closed in 1972 and with this in mind the condition is exceptionally good. These were generally designed for outside use and in all other respects it's in very presentable condition.

Vintage Stoneware Planter - Hillstonia - Moira Pottery




SOLD

Large stoneware planter from the Hillstonia range by Moira Pottery. It's rectangular, shallow with a rough textured finish with a glossy glaze. It does have a couple of chips around the edge and there is a hairline crack onm one of the ends. Encouragingly it looks as though someone has attempted to repair the crack but the glue has now deteriorated and discoloured and is flaking off, suggesting it was done a long time ago (Moira was closed in 1972) and suggesting that it's still quite sound. These were generally designed for outside use and in all other respects it's in very presentable condition.

Vintage Stoneware Posy Ring - Hillstonia - Moira Pottery



SOLD

Stoneware posy ring in the Hillstonia design by Moira Pottery. It is the typical rustic design popular until the pottery was closed in 1972. I have cleaned it up a little (although they usually looked deliberately patinated) and it's in excellent condition.
