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.
Designer Emma Bossons FRSA
In a career that started with Wedgwood, Emma’s work has fast become extraordinarily popular with collectors all over the world. Moorcroft’s youngest designer, and a great Moorcroft success story. Emma designed Queen’s Choice in 2000 which rapidly became a Moorcroft best seller. A string of successful limited editions endorse the phenomenal success of a young designer said by serious commentators to be the Moorcroft Design Studio member carrying the mantel of the art pottery forward.
History
Moorcroft was originally founded in 1897 as a studio within a large ceramic company in Stoke on Trent. Designs came from 24 year old William Moorcroft who personalised each piece of pottery produced with his own signature or initials. Moorcroft Pottery soon moved to Sandbach Road where it still is today. Backed by Liberty, the famous London store, Moorcroft went from strength to strength and has recently grown internationally, thanks to the annual auction at Christies. Despite the growth of Moorcroft Pottery as an International Brand, the designs and process of producing beautiful and unique Art Pottery has not changed over the last 100 years.
