| You are entering a web site which is all about stories and dreams: about an art pottery now more than a hundred years old, fiercely independent, small and almost alone in its pursuit of quality at the highest level of the applied arts. Supported by designs from the world-famous Moorcroft Design Studio and the consummate skills of a dedicated workforce of artists, craftsmen and women, Moorcroft pottery and enamels share unprecedented popularity and esteem, while examples of their work, both old and new, fetch high prices in the major salesrooms of the world. We hope that you enjoy your visit. The Moorcroft Museum enables the visitor to look back in time: you can let your imagination run wild and absorb the fascinating history of this unique company and its hand-crafted pottery. The Moorcroft Museum display sparkles in cabinets made by Liberty of London in 1924, enabling the visitor to look at past examples of the very first pieces designed by William Moorcroft at the end of the 19th century. You move forward into the fascinating renaissance of Moorcroft’s art ten years ago, before passing through the millennium to the present day. Themed exhibitions relating to Moorcroft’s history are an ever-changing feature of this vibrant and colourful Museum display. Steeped in history, massive yet gracious, the Moorcroft bottle oven stands in the centre of the factory shop. Although its final commercial firing took place in 1962, the bottle oven is now one of the few remaining in Stoke-on-Trent. As a Grade Two listed building, shop visitors have the opportunity to step inside, and there experience the mood of a bygone age. Opening Hours How to Find Moorcroft Pottery |
