Moorcroft
This describes pottery designed and produced by William Moorcroft in his factory in Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent, England. This pottery is unique in that Moorcroft used the tube lining (slip decoration) method in the 1897-1913 Florian Ware made while he was a designer and pottery maker for James MacIntyre.
Between 1913 and until his death in 1945, Moorcroft continued to make this ware in Cobridge, England, in a more impressionist style and with less of the labor-intensive slip decoration. The early work is highly valued, as it is still unique and not reproduced. Moorcroft pottery is still made today with new patterns and designs.
CARA Antiques specializes in early Moorcroft, made between 1897 and 1935.
