How do I identify Moorcroft pottery patterns?
1 Answer
To identify Moorcroft pottery patterns, first look for the maker's markings on the base. Nearly all Moorcroft pieces are marked with the year of production as well as the maker’s name and the place of manufacture: England. Once you know the production year, you can use trusted online resources to find out what patterns were made that year and then compare your piece to these images. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can also assist with the identification process. On 1stDibs, explore a large selection of Moorcroft pottery.
