Moorcroft Pottery leads the world of art pottery with its own distinctive design style. With added value coming from the skills and craftsmanship of a dedicated workforce, Moorcroft is selling more of its magnificent ware all over the world today than it did even in its previous heyday in the mid-1920's
The Sissons Gallery has one of the most extensive collections of Moorcroft Pottery in the country, both current and retired. A visit is highly recommended.
Each year on 29th August, Potteries Bottle Oven Day celebrates the remarkable bottle ovens that once dominated the skyline of Stoke-on-Trent and became enduring symbols of the city’s world-famous pottery industry.
At the industry’s height, more than 4,000 bottle ovens were in use across the Potteries. Today, just 47 survive, including Moorcroft’s own Grade II listed bottle oven, built in 1919 and standing as a proud reminder of generations of craftsmanship.
To mark Potteries Bottle Oven Day 2026, designer Nicola Slaney presents Sandbach Road, a new design inspired by Moorcroft’s historic home. At its heart, an imposing bottle kiln rises above the works, recalling a time when the skyline was filled with tall chimneys and swirling smoke.
Surrounded by a stylised landscape of rolling fields and graceful trees, Sandbach Road brings together industrial architecture, natural beauty and decorative artistry. The result is a vibrant celebration of Stoke-on-Trent’s pottery heritage and a fitting tribute to the place Moorcroft has proudly called home since 1913.
After the phoenomenal success of Florian Revisited Sissons Gallery is pleased to announce the debut of two new lamps.
Florian Revisited, designed by Senior Designer Rachel Bishop, is now available as two stunning new lamps.
