Bulldog Commemorative Depicting Eagle Feet Hoch Neck Ornament Reverse Upside Ware Downside Shows
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing commemorative ware ornament showcases an upside-down British bulldog with the phrase "Bow, Bow, Bow" encircling its neck. The reverse side features a German eagle with "Hoch, Hoch, Hoch" inscribed around its feet, with the bulldog perched atop. This unique piece of collectible art dates back to the era of the First World War, around 1914-1918, and is a fascinating representation of the military history and tensions between Britain and Germany during that time. The bulldog, a symbol of British strength and tenacity, and the German eagle, a powerful and proud emblem of the German military, are depicted in a reversed position, adding to the intrigue and allure of this ornament. The use of "Bow, Bow, Bow" and "Hoch, Hoch, Hoch" further emphasizes the historical significance of this piece, as these phrases were commonly used as rallying cries during military parades and ceremonies in both countries. This ornament, with its intricate design and rich historical context, is a must-have for collectors of military history or those interested in the symbolism and cultural significance of animals in war.
