| Moorcroft |
On the base of every piece of Moorcroft pottery, there are a number of marks, and each of these marks tells its own story. You can find the designer's monogram: the painter's and tubeliner's painted marks: a date mark for copyright purposes, as well as other impressed marks which include the name 'Moocroft', the place of manufacture, 'Made in Stoke-on-Trent, England', and a symbol denoting the year of manufacture.
- Most pieces are still turned on the lathe to perfect the shape and provide a blemish-free surface for decorating.
- The designs are applied by the tube-lining or slip-trailing, a process by which the raised outline is appliedto the pot in the form of a fine extrusion of liquid clay or slip squeezed through a glass tube from a bag held in the hand.
- The colours are based on metallic oxides, and are applied entirely by hand, one colour being gently washed over another to enable them to blend together at high temperatures, firstly with the clay pot and then with the transparent glaze. It is this second firing which produces the brilliance of colour which has become the unique hallmark of Moorcroft property.
