For many years, porcelain and ceramics items have been available which, in some way, have a connection with The Salvation Army.
Some items come from social institutions within The Salvation Army. Other items of a more general nature have been produced. For example anniversary plates and porcelain figurines. In the course of time many well-known companies like Goebel or Wedgwood did produce such objects.
Wedgwood
Both of these small plates were produced in 1977/1978 by Wedgwood. They are made from light blue Jaspers and show, in white portraits of Catherine and William Booth, the founder of The Salvation Army and his wife. The edges are decorated with oak leaves.

Porcelain Figurines by Goebel
In 1986 the well known German porcelain producer W. Goebel created four different salvationist Figurines.
Two of the Figurines, a male soldier and a female soldier were designed by Martina Franz for a special production for The Salvation Army in the U.S.A.. They represent the salvationists worldwide.
Tile Produced by Sherwin & Cotton
Porcelain and ceramic is often used for decoration e.g. porcelain figurines, wall plates and other items such as this portrait tile.
In the collection of the Salvation Army Museum Basel there are two portrait tiles of William Booth which are made by Sherwin & Cotton. One of them is framed.
