Label TextBernard Moore was an English potter and ceramic chemist known for innovative production of art pottery, especially his flambé glazes as seen in this example. After forty years running his family's pottery business, he set up his own pottery studio in Stoke-on-Trent in 1905 where he made art pottery with the help of a few assistants. After closing the studio in 1915, he worked as a ceramic consultant. Moore's knowledge of ceramic chemistry was considerable and he was widely consulted by the ceramics industry on technical matters. Moore exhibited internationally and received many awards for his ceramics. In 1910, a fire at the Brussels Exhibition destroyed much of his work.
