Moorcroft Pottery

The method of production originated by William Moorcroft in 1897 is almost exactly the same today. Most pieces are still turned on the lathe to perfect the shape. The designs are applied by Tubelining or Sliptrailing, a process by which the raised outline is squeezed onto to the pot in the form of a fine extrusion of liquified clay or slip squeezed through a glass tube from a bag held in the hand. The process is not unlike that used in icing a cake.

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 Pottery.
