A Claremont flambé twin-handled vase, featuring mushrooms under glaze. William Moorcroft started producing rouge flambé glazes in 1922. William created some pure glaze effects in flambé but also as an overlay on ware that had been decorated with his designs. During the next two decades, William became a master of the flambé process. By its nature, each piece was utterly unique, exploiting the full range of sang-de-boeuf (reds), yellows, orange and brown. William controlled the kiln himself, carefully nursing it through the vital transmutation process unaided. The Moorcroft flambé bottle oven was demolished in 1971.
