About the Maker

Moorcroft is a celebrated English pottery company known for its richly colored, hand-decorated art pottery and distinctive tube-lined technique, which gives its designs a raised, sculptural quality. Founded in the late 19th century, the firm became especially renowned for its bold floral and nature-inspired motifs, each piece individually crafted and glazed by skilled artisans. Moorcroft works are admired for their painterly surfaces, luminous glazes, and strong sense of form, making them highly collectible worldwide.

About the Designer

Philip Gibson is a British ceramic designer best known for his work with Moorcroft Pottery, where he contributed a number of highly distinctive Art Nouveau–inspired patterns in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. His designs often feature elongated forms, stylized florals, and rich, saturated color palettes that emphasize vertical movement and symmetry. Gibson’s work reflects Moorcroft’s tradition of hand-tube-lined decoration while introducing a more contemporary sense of rhythm and boldness. His pieces are valued for their sculptural presence and meticulous craftsmanship.
