Pemberely Vase 365/20

Pemberley is the name of Mr Darcy’s estate in Jane Austen’s most popular novel Pride and Prejudice. Moorcroft Pottery designer Nicola Slaney has always worked on the theory that any design always has room for more than a single image or inspired thought. Pemberley features two of Jane Austen’s most famous characters, and Nicola puts both of them firmly centre stage.

However, there is more to this design than just Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. The couple stand together under a classic Moorcroft tree at whose foot is a feast of fruit. The great house, Pemberley, home to the Darcy family for centuries, stands silently in the background, playing its own pivotal role in both Austen’s novel and Nicola’s design.
