You are looking at pieces of Moorcroft Pottery, the ancestors of which first appeared in 1897.
Every piece of Moorcroft is individual and made entirely by hand in Stoke on Trent, England, just as it has been for more than a century.
The method of production originated by William Moorcroft is almost exactly the same today. Most pieces are still turned on the lathe to perfect the shape. The designs are applied by Tubelining or Sliptrailing, a process by which the raised outline is applied to the pot in the form of a fine extrusion of liquified clay or slip squeezed through a glass tube from a bag held in the hand. The colors are based on metallic oxides and are applied entirely by hand, one color being gently washed over another to enable them to blend together at high temperature firstly with the clay pot then the transparent glaze. It is this second firing which produces the brilliance of color which has become the unique hallmark of Moorcroft Pottery.
