: : Hello Susan,

: : you seem very confused to what Moorcroft is really about, Moorcroft is in many collectors view one of a kind. 

: : Moorcroft is made completely by hand, going through many stages of production. infact it is made almost the same way now as it was over 100 years ago. over the years people 'collectors' have become very fussy on what is a good piece of moorcroft the best tube-liner, painter, colour etc..... so Moorcroft within the last 30ish years have graded them.

: : you are right Moorcroft is made in just one location & thats stoke-on-trent & yes seconds do have the same work content as first quality pots. seconds are now given a red dot on the base which used to be a silver line but dealers were able to remove this line & make massive profits! 

: : the grading system is strict & so it should be. has you say Moorcroft is expensive so grading is taken very seriously, it could be the paintwork is not true to the design the tube-lining could have faults etc. to many true collectors seconds are not much of an interest. like myself i have a wonderful collection of Moorcroft & all first quality.  

: : so next time when you go to the factory or look at moorcroft, take a really close look & see the tube-lining, feel it Moorcroft needs to be held, look at the quality of the paintwork & compare with other pieces, every single piece of moorcroft is different with it being made by hand. 

: : you might want to take a factory tour these are great ways of understanding how the pottery is made & you realise why its so much money! 

: : if you need any more help or information on Moorcroft Susan then please do contact me, am always happy to talk pots markjh26@btinternet.com
