With an unrivalled heritage and very bright future, Stoke-on-Trent (affectionately known as The Potteries), is officially recognised as the World Capital of Ceramics. From the very moment you step inside The Moorcroft Heritage Visitor Centre, under the vast shadow of the colossal Moorcroft Grade II Listed Bottle Oven, pottery glistens like precious stones in an exciting array of vivid colours and in a wealth of designs. To add to the delightful atmosphere, you can quite literally step inside the Grade II Listed bottle oven, just as potters would have done over a century ago, as they balanced saggars on the heads. Framed photographs of Moorcroft potters past allow you to bask in times gone by. A free Museum, which houses fascinating pieces of Moorcroft in their original Liberty Cabinets, allows visitors to view the history of ceramic art through the ages.
I take all my visitors to the Moorcroft Factory shop to see what must be the most beautiful pottery ever made. Every time I go, the display has slightly changed, on this occasion the Flambe Lest We Forget was highlighted and was absolutely stunning. All the designs are gorgeous, from the very colourful to the single colours, and from the luscious fruit and country themes to the incredible art deco and designs reminiscent of Mackintosh. There is also plenty of information for visitors concerning how the pottery is made and the factory shop is built around an old kiln, which you can step inside. There are also drinks available. There is a factory tour which is very informative, but needs to be booked, however the factory shop is an experience not to be missed.
