EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Salute to the Past: A German School Glazed Coloured Pottery Tobacco Jar Commemorating a First World War Soldier" This photograph showcases a unique piece of German commemorative ware, a glazed coloured pottery tobacco jar in the shape of a First World War German soldier. The intricately crafted figure, dressed in the uniform of a German soldier, stands tall with a No. 90 insignia in bold red on both the hat and the head. This number is believed to be a reference to the 90th Infantry Regiment of the Imperial German Army. The tobacco jar, a testament to the rich historical significance of this period, is a fine example of the German School of glazed coloured pottery. The vibrant colours and meticulous attention to detail are evident in the soldier's uniform, which includes a tunic, belt, and helmet adorned with a spike. The base of the jar is unmarked, further adding to the mystery and allure of this historical piece. The First World War, also known as the Great War or WWI, lasted from 1914 to 1918, and this tobacco jar serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during that time. The use of commemorative ware, such as this tobacco jar, was a common practice during the war, with families and loved ones creating keepsakes to honour the soldiers and remember their service. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of the First World War and the role of commemorative ware in preserving the memories of that era. The intricate details of the tobacco jar, from the soldier's uniform to the No. 90 insignia, serve as a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the German School of glazed coloured pottery. This unique piece is not only a beautiful addition to any collection but also a valuable historical artifact that tells a story of a bygone era.
