New patterns were quickly introduced including utilitarian tableware using a porcellaneous body similar to that used by Macintyre in their electrical output and referred to initially as Blue Porcelain.
The speckled blue tableware was a much-needed success that soon became synonymous with Liberty and Co. The advent of the First World War led to an increase in export trade allied with government commissions to produce shaving mugs and hospital inhalers for the war effort, thereby allowing William to retain much of his workforce.
However, it was in the post war years that he was able to consolidate his position and develop his reputation for producing richly coloured wares that continued to draw upon floral, fruit and landscape inspiration. The earliest examples display distinct buff reserves that by the s had given way to deep cobalt blue, and the commercial success of the company was further enhanced in by acquiring the Royal warrant. The prevailing Art Deco style of the twenties and thirties appears to have been almost begrudgingly acknowledged in a series of often semi matt salt glazed designs that feature stylised waving corn, yachts, peacock feathers and even traditional landscapes above and below bands of blue and yellow chevrons.
Such designs were in direct response to the change in fashion that not only favoured geometry and the abstract but now also preferred the pale and sombre tones, evident in the growing popularity of the creations of studio potters such as William Staite- Murray and Bernard Leach. It is worth remembering that it was studio pottery that presented Moorcroft with far more competition than the brightly coloured creations of Clarice Cliff or the stylish modern wares of Susie Cooper.
