BERNARD MOORE
Name: Bernard Moore
Born: 1850 Staffordshire, C England, UK
Died: 1935
Potter, born in Staffordshire, C England, UK. He succeeded his father in the
firm of Moore Brothers, where he traded with his brother until the sale of the
business in 1905. He then set up his own business (1905-1915), where he was joined
by his son. As a chemist he was particularly interested in glazes, and his
experiments led him to produce a series of rouge flambes, turquoise, sang-de-boeuf,
crystalline, and aventurine glazes as well as fine lustres. He worked as a
technical consultant with many British, European, and American companies. He was
greatly concerned with health risks to pottery workers, and delivered an
influential paper to the Ceramic Society in 1932 suggesting changes in
production to minimize lung disease.
