Moorcroft Pottery Apollo Tray
Moorcroft Pottery is one of the few remaining hand made pieces of collectable art available. Every piece of pottery is slightly different and the Moorcroft Stamps on the base identify the designer, the year it was made, the year of the design, the person who hand painted the piece and the person who tube-lined the piece. Moorcroft Pottery is also unique as it is cast and decorated before it is fired, and then it is glazed and fired for a second time.
Sian Leeper
Originally a freelance art potter and designer working both sides of the Atlantic, Sian is one of Moorcroft's most prolific designers, who can also both paint and tubeline her own work. A specialist in designs featuring animals and birds, she has brought forward images ranging from polar bears to lions: from gorillas to elephants. Much of her work has organic qualities, very much in the Moorcroft tradition and her limited editions will be hard to find. Sian is an outdoor fanatic, which reflects in her design.
