Surprise Troika Giant Wheel Vase
This Bank Holiday weekend I visited the Moorgreen Country Show in Watnall near Nottingham. Whilst strolling around the Horticultural Marquee I came upon a rather unexpected treat – a giant Troika pottery Wheel Vase holding a floral display!
The giant wheel vase is rare – due to its size not many were made. Standing around 12.5″ tall and 13″ in diameter it is quite a beast! This particular vase has a rather nice design on the back and unlike the smaller Troika wheel vases which sometimes can be a bit wobbly on display this giant wheel is quite solid when stood up.
The Moorgreen Country Show happens once a year on a 40 acre site in Watnall near Nottingham. It hosts a mixture of events and shows involving sheep, horses, cattle, goats and has a variety of marquees hosting culinary delights, crafts and horticultural. Who knows what will be there next year!
