Seconds The Mother Town MU1 Mug
Burslem, home to the world-famous Moorcroft pottery, is locally known as ‘The Mother’ Town. It is one of six towns that together make up the City of Stoke-on-Trent. Burslem contains Britain's last real working industrial district, where people live within walking distance of the numerous pottery factories and as a result much of the nineteenth-century industrial heritage, buildings and character of the town have survived intact. Designer, Nicola Slaney celebrates Burslem’s history with this design that sees the soot covered smoking bottle kilns of yesteryear intermingled with grey pot bank buildings. History and heritage are still alive in this industrious image of a bygone age.
What is a Moorcroft second?
All our art pottery is closely inspected before it leaves the Moorcroft factory and the selection process is as rigorous as any in the world. As a result, not all pieces emerge unblemished in their quality assessment. The fault or faults may be in the finish of a piece, whether it be a tiny tubeline miss, an incorrectly painted petal, or a small glaze run. Seconds are not ‘red-dotted’, all of them are far too good for that, and each seconds piece has a charm and individuality of its own. Any fault is not structural and the piece can still be used for the purpose it was made.
