Pride and Flight Vessel

In celebration of Ardmores 40th anniversary in 2025, this magnificent statement vessel is inspired by the Phinda Pride Scarf, a joyful tribute to family, legacy, and freedom.

Sculpted by Molapo, the work brings to life a majestic pride of lions encircling the base of the vessel, symbolising unity, strength, and protection. Rising above them, a canopy of iridescent turaco birds, sculpted in grand scale, stretches skyward, nestled within lush Lebombo wattle foliage. These birds, rich in symbolism, represent freedom, abundance, and the soaring creative spiritthat defines Ardmore.

Siyas vibrant palette, drawn from the Paradise Scarf, breathes colour and vitality into the artwork. His painterly touch adds rhythm and movement, making the birds shimmer with life and elevating the entire vessel into a celebration of artistic mastery, cultural richness, and four decades of Ardmore magic.
