On the base of every single piece of Moorcroft pottery is a number of marks, each telling its own story. You can find the designer's monogram: the painter's mark: the name 'Moorcroft': the place of manufacture and the date represented by a special Moorcroft symbol. The colours of the Moorcroft pieces are based on metallic oxides and applied entirely by hand. It is easy to see why Moorcroft is unique, totally individual and utterly fascinating for collectors. 1997 was Moorcroft's centenary year which saw an unprecedented surge in interest from collectors around the world. Stockists of Moorcroft are few and far between. At the UK Gift Company, we are proud of our unsurpassed collection.
