Moorcroft Pottery - Reference Books


 

Author: Paul Atterbury

In May 1987 Moorcroft Pottery was published, becoming the first Moorcroft book to illustrate in more than 400 colour plates all of the known designs of William and Walter Moorcroft, and Sally Tuffin produced between 1897 and 1992. The success of this book, which is now in its 3rd reprint of the 2nd edition, is a reflection of the increasingly high esteem enjoyed by Moorcroft among collectors, scholars, antique dealers, auctioneers and pottery enthusiasts world-wide.

Originally started by William Moorcroft, who later watched the company that carried his name become Potters to HM the Queen, and in receipt of international acclaim. In 1986, however, England's once great art pottery had dwindled to a handful of workers, and had not seen a major new design for more than ten years. The Phoenix Years (150 colour plates) chronicles Moorcroft's rise from the ashes of virtual oblivion to become perhaps the most collectable and prestigious art pottery in the world. The book carries a full inventory of painters and tubeliners marks up to 1997.

Moorcroft 'Winds of Change' (over 250 colour plates) continues the story from the art pottery's centenary in 1997 through to the millennium. Most importantly, the book gives full details of the formation of Moorcroft's famous Design Studio. Winds of Change also provides a full, updated inventory of painters' and tubeliners' marks, making it an essential reference for anyone owning a piece of Moorcroft pottery.


 

Author: Fraser Street

Moorcroft ‘A New Dawn’ (over 545 colour plates) chronicles from 2000 the struggles and triumphs of what is now perhaps the finest art pottery in the world through to 2006. A New Dawn also provides a full, updated inventory of painters', tube-liners' marks, designers’ monograms, Collectors’ Club marks, retailers marks, special marks and year stamps, making it an essential reference for anyone owning a piece of Moorcroft pottery.
