Moorcroft Pottery designer Vicky Lovatt’s orange tip butterflies hover around the plant know as a Milkmaid. This herbaceous plant has delicate flowers with yellow centres, and blooms from April to June. It’s also known as cuckooflower, lady’s smock, or mayflower – and orange tip butterflies thrive on it. In recent years, the orange tip butterfly has been affected by changing temperatures: each year it appears earlier in our meadows.
Vicky uses the slender neck and broad base of the classic 104/6 shape to charming effect.
The Milkmaids vase comes in a limited edition of 35.
