You are looking at a piece of Moorcroft Pottery, the ancestors of which first appeared in 1897. Today Moorcroft is as alive and vibrant as it has been at any time in its long and colourful history. Old pieces now fetch substantial sums in the major salesrooms of the world while many pieces sold less than five years ago have more than doubled in value. Christies, the international auctioneers, hold two specialist Moorcroft sales each year. Another remarkable fact is that for a hundred years Moorcroft employed only four full-time designers. This changed in early 1997 when the Moorcroft Design Studio was formed. The Design Studio now comprises no less than nine designers with Rachel Bishop at their head.
There is something for everyone in the Moorcroft catalogue, which offers the world a kaleidoscope of colour and quality, with each piece designed to enrich any home with its presence.
