Moorcroft Pottery is one of the last remaining independent art
potteries in the world today and still operates out of the original brick factory in
Stoke-on-Trent, England, using the proprietary glazes and distinctive slip-trailing design
methods pioneered by William Moorcroft at the end of the 19th century. This incredibly
labor-intensive process produces designs of intricacy, brilliance, and clarity.
Moorcroft Pottery has been esteemed since it burst on the scene
in 1897. Moorcroft is collected by connoisseurs worldwide, and both the retail and
secondary markets are strong. (Christies auction house holds a dedicated Moorcroft
sale each year, and Sothebys regularly features Moorcroft pottery in their sales of
decorative arts.) Early Moorcroft pieces are both rare and valuable; contemporary pieces
generally appreciate shortly after production of a design has ceased.
Alimadia Gallery is an authorized Moorcroft retailer. We can
also help you obtain old and discontinued designs. Please email us for more information,
or to place an order for a particular piece from the catalog.
