Moorcroft

Moorcroft pottery established by William Moorcroft. In 1897 he started work at James MacIntyre. He mastered the tube-lining technique that Moorcroft is famous for. In 1913 he built his own factory and the pottery was taken on by his son Walter, following William's death in 1945. The company is still producing pottery today.
