Bernard Moore Rare Red Lustre General Joffre Commemorative Vase

About the Item

A rare small World War I interest art pottery vase or possibly inkwell inscribed ‘JOFFRE FRENCH’ and decorated in red lustre glazes by renowned maker Bernard Moore and dated 1914. Joseph Jacques Cesaire Joffre, was one of France’s most influential leaders, played a significant role in shaping the outcome of World War I. He served as commander-in-chief of the French forces on the Western Front from 1914-16 and became an iconic symbol of French resistance for his defence against the German invasion. The bell-shaped vase stands on a narrow round unglazed foot rim and has a wide skirted body narrowing to a small, short, raised funnel shaped neck. The vase is decorated with a cream glazed band over a red lustre ground with the inscription applied around the body of the vase. The vase has a BM monogram to the base for Bernard Moore. A rare and unusual WWI commemorative piece. Provenance: From the estate and collection of the late Jackie Mann, a respected member of the UK antique trade. Acquired from the UK Art Market. In good condition with wear associated with age and use.
