From c.1897-1913 he was chief designer for James Macintyre & Co.’s new Art Pottery department, in Burslem. His designs were sold through Tiffany of New York, Liberty of London and other prestigious stores. In 1913, Macintyre’s reverted to industrial wares and some thirty workers transferred to a newly established Moorcroft Pottery, in Sandbach Road, Cobridge, set up with financial support from Liberty’s; both businesses continue today. Moorcroft designed both the shape and decoration of his pottery, each complementing the other; he experimented widely with glazes and decorating processes, and produced plain lustrewares from c.1912-1922, when his interest moved on to flambé glazes. Lustre pieces are rarely signed. Dr Glaisher notes that 'there was a good deal of this ware having the same lustre' when he bought this inkstand at a London store, c.1922, and he 'bought this example as a small and convenient specimen'. reference term-109008 adlib-term-109008 841b18bd-944d-3c9c-8d39-bdaabbcc28e1 20th Century, Early reference term-113547 adlib-term-113547 842362d2-b32b-3590-8ed9-69487370fba7 Cobridge reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Height cm 6.6 Height in 2.625 reference media-44367 adlib-media-44367 f74dd27a-adce-3ae1-bee8-184241300d67 jpeg aa/aa3/C_45_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926416175 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_45_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926416175 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_45_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926416175 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_45_20_26_20A_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926416175 1 image 0 media image reference media-44368 adlib-media-44368 1ab5a0fa-e3f9-38a4-9c7b-c8bf1587584c jpeg aa/aa3/C_45_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926782101 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/mid_C_45_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926782101 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/C_45_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926782101 1 image jpeg aa/aa3/preview_C_45_20_26_20A_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926782101 1 image 1 media image reference term-132920 adlib-term-132920 c4a0b2ae-60c9-37b7-b576-f2f26a992e43 inkstand and cover reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover reference term-89786 adlib-term-89786 36564591-e31a-3539-bfdb-3e7110e77aa3 inkstand inkwell history note Army & Navy Stores, London, bought for four shillings and nine-pence on 13 Nov 13, 1918, by Dr Glaisher, Trinity College, Cambridge 1 same maker reference object-73965 adlib-object-73965 fd4657d6-b978-3e99-b97f-1fa6956cc81a
