I am mainly a collector of Dennis Chinaworks (connection with
Moorcroft = Sally Tuffin). I have a number of Moorcroft Pieces (mainly
Gibson / Davenport and Bishop). Given that Moorcroft do produce
relatively large runs of pieces, much of the pottery is expensive and I
think it is very unlikely that people will make their money back. If this
is an investment for you, go for the best that you can afford and as a
general rule, ignore small pieces. I would also advise that you research
Moorcroft pieces for quite some time and get to know the various
pieces - you will soon pick up what to avoid and what to concentrate
on.

Never buy a 'second' or anything which is damaged - you will never get
your money back if you sell in future.

In my opinion, you should try and concentrate on rare/ early Cobridge
(owned for a short time by Moorcroft) - these are more affordable but
could increase in value by a larger percentage if you pick the right one;
again, research is key.

Good luck and take your time before buying.

Melanie
