Allegorical Allegory Allied Allies Angel Angels Celebrate Ceramic Goss Peace Postwar Symbolic Symbolism Wings 1919 Designed
EDITORS COMMENTS
This Peace Plate, designed by W.H. Goss in the aftermath of the First World War around 1919, is an allegorical representation of the hope for peace and unity among the war-weary nations. The intricately designed ceramic piece showcases a female figure with outstretched wings, symbolizing the angels of peace. The figure holds aloft a large flag bearing the flags of the Allied powers, signifying the unity of the victorious nations. The allegorical design reflects the collective longing for an end to the devastating conflict and the beginning of a new era of peace. The symbolism of the wings and the flags adds to the overall sense of hope and optimism, as the world looked towards a brighter future after the horrors of the Great War. The Peace Plate is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of art to capture the spirit of the times and offer solace and inspiration to generations to come.
