Moorcroft Pattern Walter Moorcroft Grey-Blue Signature Damage to underside of Bowl View of Damage on inside of Bowl

I have a large Moorcroft pottery bowl that my mother gave me - is signed, I think by Walter Moorcroft (grey-blue inititals).

I think it is a special one-off piece because, from what I have been able to gather, general pieces only had initials on them, but I am not sure.

Unfortunately, the bowl was broken and has cracks.

I am not sure if it has any value, but I was wondering if someone could tell me if they know anything more about it?

Thank you.
Donna.

This does indeed appear to be by Walter Moorcroft and bears the full signature mark dating between 1947 and 1953.

Walters full script signature mark was only used on important pieces, on one off pieces for exhibition, or on limited editions.

Unfortunately the extensive damage means Moorcroft collectors will be reluctant to pay very much for it. Although the rarity of the pattern may affect this.
