A Macintyre & Co. Flamminian Ware Designed by William Moorcroft,made for Liberty & Co.

1900 - 1920
Description

A Macintyre & Co. Flamminian ware green glaze pottery vase,made for Liberty & Co. designed by William Moorcroft.

The base marked 'Made for / Liberty & Co. / Rd No. 452777', and with signature 'W. Moorcroft'

This Flamminian ware vase is glazed green and its body decorated with three heart-shaped foliate roundels expressed as a raised slip outline. This fashionable aesthetic was inspired by East Asian monochrome ceramic wares and celadon glazes that had found popularity among European and American advocates of Japonisme and Art Nouveau.

The vase was designed by William Moorcroft (1872-1945) and manufactured in 1905 by James Macintyre & Co, Burslem, Stoke-on-Trent for retail at Liberty & Co. Ltd.

William Moorcroft was born in Burslem, Staffordshire and attended the Burslem School of Art In 1898, a year after completing his education at the National Art Training School at South Kensington, he found employment with James Macintyre & Co. Ltd.

He explored decorative techniques that combined coloured glazes and slip-trailing while developing the Florian tableware and ornamental range. A more restrained use of slip-trailed decoration is a feature of the Flamminian ware vases.

Moorcroft started to produced ceramics for the London retailer Liberty & Co around 1900 and these works carry the mark ‘Made for Liberty & Co.

Moorcroft’s green Flamminian ware reveal the potters early interest in lustres. Both the red and green wares from the Flamminian range were registered in 1905 and produced mainly for Liberty. When blue Famminian ware launched in 1914, Moorcroft was no longer with James Macintyre & Co. Ltd, having left the company in 1913 to establish his own factory in Cobridge, Burslem.

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Flamminian ware is a line of art pottery designed by William Moorcroft for James Macintyre & Co., created specifically for Liberty & Co. in the early 20th century, characterised by monochrome glazes with stylized slip-trailed medallions.

These pieces are made from glazed earthenware featuring hand-applied tube-lining or slip-trailing to create raised relief motifs beneath monochrome glazes.

Authentic examples typically feature impressed factory marks such as Macintyre or Made for Liberty & Co., frequently accompanied by William Moorcrofts incised or painted signature on the underside.

Display the ceramic vessel as a standalone accent piece on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or bookshelf to highlight its form and glaze without overwhelming surrounding decor.

Dust gently with a soft dry cloth and avoid immersing in water or using abrasive chemical cleaners to preserve the integrity of the glaze.
