Moorcroft Anyone?


Picked this lovely wee Moorcroft milk jug up for £5 in a junk shop it is in perfect condition and just what I was looking for.

Moorcroft probably more famous for it's peony designs and others.

Can't seem to find out much about this - just wondered if there are any collectors out there or folks with a bit of knowledge?

Thankyou - I've been looking out for a nice everyday jug so was really pleased with this. Just wanted to know if it was a good buy/how old or not etc!

Same shape and colour but that one holds two pints - mine would be about half a pint.

At least it gives me a hint. Thankyou

It's a very pretty jug and as you say not immediately identifiable as the more highly decorated Moorcroft. Good buy I think!
