EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Shelley China model of a Sevres Vase, titled "Royal Garrison Artillery," is a commemorative piece from the early 20th century, celebrating the transfer of the Royal Garrison Artillery regiments during World War I. The intricately detailed vase, inspired by the renowned 18th-century French Sevres porcelain, showcases the rich history of military regiments through the art of pottery. The Royal Garrison Artillery was formed in 1716, initially as a part-time militia to protect against coastal attacks. Over the centuries, it evolved into a full-time artillery unit, playing a significant role in various conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars and both World Wars. In the early 1900s, the regiment underwent a major reorganization, leading to the transfer of several batteries to new locations. This commemorative Shelley China vase was produced to mark this momentous occasion. The vase features the Royal Garrison Artillery crest, complete with the regimental motto "Ubique," meaning "everywhere," symbolizing the regiment's presence in various theaters of war. The transfer of the batteries is depicted in the scene on the vase, with soldiers and horses moving their equipment to their new locations. The use of the transfer printing technique on the vase adds an extra layer of detail and authenticity, making it a valuable historical artifact. The Shelley China model of the Sevres Vase - Royal Garrison Artillery is not only a beautiful piece of art but also an essential reminder of the rich history and traditions of military regiments during the early 20th century.
