Collectors - Please Note: No two pieces of Nicholas Mosse are ever exactly alike and this is what makes it unique and desired around the world. Each piece is hand-thrown, shaped & painted by different artists, so there are always variations in the look of every piece, even within the same pattern set.  Turn the piece over and on the bottom of the piece you'll find a little stamp with two or three initials - these are the initials of the artist who did the painting. You will see differences from one artist to the next. Some collectors are devoted to collecting a particular artist.

The finish and colors of these samples, as shown on our website, show approximate colors.   Because of the variation of coloring in digital photographing, and the varying qualities of computer monitors, you should be aware that there may be some color variance from these screen samples to the actual finish sample.  We have tried to eliminate as many variables as possible to try to produce colors and shades as close to the original as possible.

Blue Vine

Handmade & decorated in County Kilkenny, Ireland

A new pattern from Nicholas Mosse Pottery. Blue Vine will be exclusively sold in the USA for 2007.  It is a wonderful combination of a clear, soft sky blue with overlaid deep blue indigo lacing. The inspiration was the classical vine motif which has been recreated using a combination of hand-mixed pigments, and hand-sponged detailing. This is a pattern which will work well on its own or mixed with other patterns.

Wildflower Meadow

Handmade & decorated in County Kilkenny, Ireland

Nicholas Mosse wanted to offer  collectors a pattern that combined the existing classic floral patterns with a newer, contemporary look. The answer was to take a mixture of all our much loved motifs lay them out into a chintz pattern, i.e., an overall, fluid pattern loaded with color and life. This is one of our most challenging patterns to decorate by hand, but we love the result which has all the spontaneity of the original 18th Century ware but with a very modern feel
