Superb Antique Extremely Rare Circa 1905 Bernard Moore Early Flambé Rabbit
Posted by admin On August 12, 2022
Here for your consideration is a beautiful and extremely rare, antique, circa 1905, miniature, Bernard Moore, early flambé figure of a cute baby rabbit with raised elongated ears. Please take time to look at all 12 photos to fully appreciate this majestic early flambé rabbit. The flambé colouring in this delightful early Bernard Moore rabbit is interesting and unusual because you can see the tell-tale signs of it not being as refined as the later Royal Doulton flambé ware. It’s still got real strong vibrant running mottled colouring though. I really don’t believe my photos are doing this magnificent miniature rabbit true justice because they’re picking up white light reflections. The colouring and the way they’ve been mixed are just sublime. The base has the black script.. Bernard Moore distinct initial markings.. Condition, no cracks, damage or repairs. It does have some. Age-related base wear commensurate with 1114 years of age, but nothing unusual. Just a very nice extremely rare piece of early Bernard Moore flambé ware pottery. For the innovative production of flambé glazes and pottery with reduced lustre pigments. He joined his father’s business, Samuel Moore & Son, in 1865 and on his fathers death two years later took over the running of the firm. From 1873 to 1905 they traded as Moore Bros. Moore’s knowledge of ceramic chemistry was considerable and he was widely consulted by the ceramics industry on technical matters. Throughout the 1880s and 1890s, it is likely that he was experimenting with and perfecting the specialist and difficult glazes with which his name is now principally associated. In 1902 he was elected president of the British Ceramic Society. Moore commissioned the pots from another maker and had them decorated at Wolfe Street. His decorators included Dora Billington, Hilda Beardmore, Hilda Lindop, Reginald Tomlinson, and John Adams. Flambé glazes make use of metallic oxides, usually iron or copper, fired to temperatures up to 1500º C in a flame-burning kiln. At a critical moment, the air feeding the flame is shut off, and the flame, seeking oxygen for combustion, combines with oxygen in the glaze oxides, reducing the amount of oxygen they contain and changing their colour. The potter manages the process, which is not entirely predictable, to produce reds, purples, blues, lilacs and greens. Frederic Rhead, a contemporary writer, said of Moore in 1906, He is master of all the resources of the potter’s craft, and his work alone shows Staffordshire still capable of coping with the potters of France. It is technically triumphant, and it is quite delightful (though in a sense disappointing) to find in his show-room a case of pottery – perfect in colour and artistic feeling – which he will not sell, but prefers to retain for mere pride in its accomplishment. Moore exhibited internationally and received many awards for his ceramics. In 1910, a fire at the Brussels Exhibition destroyed much of his work. He closed the business at Wolfe Street in 1915 but continued to work as a ceramic consultant. He died in 1935. There is a portrait of him by Oswald Birley in the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery. Height: 3 inches or 7.5 cm. Length: 2.75 inches or 7 cm. Depth: 3 inches or 7.5 cm. Weight: 2.9 oz or 84.6 grams. This highly sought-after early flambé rabbit would make a superb gift and solid future investment.
