NOTE: Originally founded as a studio in 1897 within a large ceramic company. James Macintyre & Co. Moorcroft pottery soon made its mark on the world. Designs came from 24 year old William Moorcroft who personalized each piece of pottery produced with his own signature or initials. Moorcroft pottery is still made today and was owned by Liberty, the famous London store until 1962.
In 1904, Moorcroft won a gold medal at the St Louis International Exhibition.
