Designer Nicola Slaney’s continued exploration of the art and architecture of Mackay Hugh Baillie Scott (1865–1945) is exceptionally popular amongst Moorcroft enthusiasts. Most of her inspiration comes from Baillie Scott’s famous Blackwell House, but she also takes time to incorporate features seen in his other projects, such as textiles. A rare piece designed by Baillie Scott and woven by Alexander Morton’s company sees small birds peeking from behind a tulip. Morton’s supplied Wylie & Lockhead in Glasgow and Liberty’s, Morris & Co and Maples in London. Nicola’s design on white clay also includes those tried and tested iconic blue birds and stained-glass effect green leaves.
