EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite earthenware figure group titled "The Vicar and Moses" from Burslem, Staffordshire, England. Dating back to approximately 1760, this ceramic masterpiece stands at a height of 24 cm. The figure group portrays a scene where a slumbering vicar, adorned in his full-bottomed wig, rests while Moses, the clerk, sits beneath the pulpit passionately addressing the congregation with an uplifted hand. With its intricate details and vibrant colors achieved through various glazed finishes, this Staffordshire creation is truly remarkable. The craftsmanship involved in sculpting each facial expression and capturing the essence of religious devotion is evident in every brushstroke. The image focuses on the face and head of these two men who play significant roles within their community's spiritual life. The contrasting black powdered wig against their white clerical attire adds depth to their characters as they deliver sermons that inspire faith and reflection. Displayed proudly at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this earthenware figure group serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human creativity. It represents not only the rich heritage of Cornwall but also highlights England's long-standing tradition of producing exceptional ceramics
