    Hi can anyone tell me what pattern this moorcroft is. I keep thinking Fresia or African lily but it looks different than both. I've added a photo of the front and back. It is about 4 1/2 inches tall.

    This is a clematis design vase made in the late 1950s/early 1960s , it's a common misconception that this style of drawing is a dahlia, it's just a different version of the clematis design, the clematis design was re drawn in several styles by Walter Moorcroft , when working at the moorcroft factory and discussing this very issue with Mr Moorcroft he referred to this style as Clematis , himself dismissing it being anything else

    Yup, clematis. Dahlia, it isn't.

    The original photos aren't showing for me anymore:(.This thread is over two years old so don't know if the OP's was exactly like the auction photo or not but good to know the real name of the auction one at least:).

    Welcome Rob!
