Moorcroft Pottery has enriched homes with colour and craftsmanship for more
than a hundred years.
With a history built on superb artistry, Moorcroft is as strong and as
lively today as it ever has been. Its pottery is still made in the original,
picturesque Moorcroft factory in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England.
In 1904, Moorcroft won its first gold medal, at the St. Louis International
Exhibition in the United States of America, thereby establishing for itself
an international reputation. In 1928, the art pottery was appointed 'Potters
to Her Majesty, The Queen' - an honour granted by the Queen of England
herself and of which Moorcroft was justifiably proud.
Today, a studio of six world class designers, led by Rachel Bishop, follow
the example of their predecessors and together keep Moorcroft design moving
forward to maintain the art pottery's tradition of design excellence.
Today, Moorcroft is sold in quality stores worldwide, some while old pieces
regularly fetch huge prices in major sales rooms on both sides of the Atlantic.
