FAQs

Aurelian Ware is a line of Art Nouveau decorative ceramics designed by William Moorcroft for James MacIntyre & Co in Burslem, Staffordshire, around 1897 to 1898. The style features stylized floral and botanical motifs created through printed transfers combined with hand-painted underglaze colours and extensive gilded detailing.

Pieces were crafted from fine earthenware and decorated using a combination of transfer printing for precise outlines and hand-applied enamels in deep cobalt blue and terracotta red. High-carat liquid gold gilding was applied before a final firing to achieve the highlighted rim and motif details.

Authentic items typically feature printed factory backstamps for James MacIntyre & Co, often accompanied by registration numbers such as Rd No 314891. Many early examples also bear William Moorcrofts hand-written signature or initials in painted underglaze script along with impressed shape numbers.

A vibrant ceramic vase works as a focal point on a neutral marble mantelpiece, a dark wood sideboard, or a glass display case. Pairing the rich cobalt and gold tones with minimalist furniture allows the intricate floral geometry and historic form to stand out without visual clutter.

Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth or an ostrich feather duster. Avoid using abrasive sponges, chemical polishes, or immersing the piece in water, as moisture and friction can wear away the delicate overglaze gold leaf and intact surface glaze.
