- This silver fibula would have been worn by a Kabyle woman in the first half of the nineteenth century. The Kabyles are a Berber people from the Atlas Mountains in North Eastern Algeria. The front and back are decorated with a pattern of silver wire forming spaces filled with enamel or coral. To one side of the brooch is a fixed pin with an open ring that would have been used to attach the brooch. It was originally one of a pair, which were worn on the front of the body, just below the shoulders, to hold the wearer’s dress together. The two fibulae would have been linked by a chain attached to the loop at the top.
This brooch was probably made by a Jewish silversmith. In the late fifteenth century many Jewish people immigrated to North Africa. The Jewish population dominated the silversmithing profession and bought with them many new jewellery techniques (such as enamelling) which they handed down from generation to generation.

- This ring was acquired by the Museum in 1871 as part of a large collection of rings which had been assembled by the Victorian scholar Edmund Waterton. It was described at that time as a 16th-century Jewish wedding ring from Germany.
The description of Jewish marriage or betrothal ring is often applied to elaborate rings with Hebrew inscriptions. In the 19th century they were very popular with collectors and usually believed to be medieval or renaissance in date, although there are very few authenticated examples. These rings usually fall into a limited number of types. This example is not as flamboyant as many of the most popular designs, and may date from the 18th century. The hinged flap on the bezel, revealing the Hebrew words ‘mazal tov’ (good fortune), appears to have been added after the ring was made. Several other Jewish marriage rings show this characteristic.

- Object history note:
- Eli Gera was an Israeli silversmith and jeweller. Born in 1932, he died at the relatively early age of 51 on December 9th, 1983. He enjoyed an international reputation. He had exhibitions of his work throughout the United States and was given a major exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Hall in 1973. In 1974, he was made an Associate Member of the Goldsmiths’ Company and in 1979, he had a retrospective exhibition at the London Jewish Museum from which we acquired a silver Havdalah set, given by Richard Norton (M.60, a-b,-1981).
In the preface to the Jewish Museum catalogue, Aharon Abu-Hatzera, the Israeli Minister for Religious Affairs wrote, “During thousands of years of history, original Jewish art was created through the fashioning of ritual objects…influence…by styles that were prevalent in each period…With the founding of the state of Israel, the distinctiveness of Jewish creativity in ritual objects was somewhat neglected…Against this background we can see the modern creations of Eli Gera as a breakthrough to the renewal of the combination of artistic creativity with worship.”
While undoubtedly, much Jewish ritual silver produced in Israel in the 20th century was in a traditional style, to regard Eli Gera as a lone moderniser is an over simplification. The Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, founded in Jerusalem in 1906, closed in 1929 and revived as the New Bezalel in 1935 was foremost in promoting modern design including the production of Jewish ritual silver. Two German Jewish, refugee silversmiths, Davis Heinz Gumbel and Ludwig Yehuda Wolpert ran the silversmithing and jewellery studio before, during and for a decade after the war. Skilled craftsmen and visionary designers, they brought the traditions and methodology of the Bauhaus to their teaching and the production of their own work. Eli Gera, of the next generation of silversmiths built on this tradition and produced silver and jewellery in a more ornamental style but in a thoroughly modern idiom which reflected international developments in the third quarter of the 20th century, as reflected in the work, for example, of Gerald Benney and Stuart Devlin in Britain and Olle Ohlsson in Sweden.
This Hanukkah lamp by Eli Gera is a mature and accomplished example of his silver and representative of the progressive element in Israeli silversmithing of the mid-20th century. It complements the existing Havdalah set already in our collection.

- Albert and his wife Klara Reimann founded the highly regarded Reimann Schule in Berlin in 1902 but as Jewish people were forced by the National Socialists to sell the school in 1935. They came to London in 1936 and quickly opened a new school at 4 to 10 Regency Street called The Reimann School and Studios of Industrial and Commercial Art. Established in January 1937 by Albert Reimann and his son, Heinz Reimann, it had five departments: exhibition and display design, commercial art (graphic design and posters etc), fashion and dressmaking, photography, and fine arts and crafts.
The School's first Principal was the poster artist Austin Cooper (see E.1837-1931). Other notable teachers included the Welsh painter and printmaker Merlyn Evans (see E.4872-1960), Eric Fraser (see E.3922-1983), and Leonard Rosoman (see E.1830-1991), who taught drawing, painting and perspective. Richard Hamilton worked in the School’s display department in 1937 as a teenager, later becoming a leader in the Pop Art movement. Edward McKnight Kauffer and Marion Dorn also lectured occasionally at the school. It was closed as the Second World War broke out and in 1941 the London premises were destroyed by bombing. The same fate befell the Reimann Schule in Berlin in 1943. Despite their illustrious history and teaching reputation, unfortunately neither branch recovered to reopen in the postwar period.

- The designer of this ring, George Weil, was born in Vienna in 1938, part of a Jewish family who left Antwerp in 1939 on the last possible plane. He trained as a jeweller and spent some time at St Martins' School of Art, London. He also made sculpture, including portrait busts of Winston Churchill, David Ben Gurion and the singer Sammy Davis Junior. His artistic training can be seen in this gold and diamond ring, which shows strong sculptural influences, reminiscent of the work of his contemporary Andrew Grima. The textured gold and asymmetric character of the hoop and bezel are very characteristic of goldsmiths' work of the 1960s.
George Weil closed his jewellery studio in 1979 and ten years later emigrated to Israel where he continued to work as an artist.

- ZYKLON-B, a suite of screenprints produced in 2011, was inspired by Carvalho's recent visit to the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and it addresses the events of the Holocaust in a sequence of prints based on amateur photographs he saw in the Museum. Re-scaled and printed many times their original size, the images are blurred, ambiguous, ominous and hard to read. Showing various acts of violence against Jews and buildings such as the SS HQ in Berlin, the images make up a disjointed but telling narrative. The portfolio is subtitled 'Let the sun see you crying' (adapted from the title of the song by British 60s band Gerry and the Pacemakers, 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying') and the prints are printed in black on bright yellow. The choice of yellow is itself ambiguous - yellow with its associations of sunshine can be positive and cheerful, but it is also symbolises disease and decay and is used as a warning sign for hazardous substances. The cover of the portfolio has been carefully considered: made of grey cardboard, with black binding and black stencilled lettering, it carries associations of packing cases, freight, concrete bunkers. It is held closed by a band of thin black elastic which is knotted in such a way as to suggest barbed wire.

- Albert and his wife Klara Reimann founded the highly regarded Reimann Schule in Berlin in 1902 but as Jewish people were forced by the National Socialists to sell the school in 1935. They came to London in 1936 and quickly opened a new school at 4 to 10 Regency Street called The Reimann School and Studios of Industrial and Commercial Art. Established in January 1937 by Albert Reimann and his son, Heinz Reimann, it had five departments: exhibition and display design, commercial art (graphic design and posters etc), fashion and dressmaking, photography, and fine arts and crafts.
The School's first Principal was the poster artist Austin Cooper (see E.1837-1931). Other notable teachers included the Welsh painter and printmaker Merlyn Evans (see E.4872-1960), Eric Fraser (see E.3922-1983), and Leonard Rosoman (see E.1830-1991), who taught drawing, painting and perspective. Richard Hamilton worked in the School’s display department in 1937 as a teenager, later becoming a leader in the Pop Art movement. Edward McKnight Kauffer and Marion Dorn also lectured occasionally at the school. It was closed as the Second World War broke out and in 1941 the London premises were destroyed by bombing. The same fate befell the Reimann Schule in Berlin in 1943. Despite their illustrious history and teaching reputation, unfortunately neither branch recovered to reopen in the postwar period.

- ZYKLON-B, a suite of screenprints produced in 2011, was inspired by Carvalho's recent visit to the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and it addresses the events of the Holocaust in a sequence of prints based on amateur photographs he saw in the Museum. Re-scaled and printed many times their original size, the images are blurred, ambiguous, ominous and hard to read. Showing various acts of violence against Jews and buildings such as the SS HQ in Berlin, the images make up a disjointed but telling narrative. The portfolio is subtitled 'Let the sun see you crying' (adapted from the title of the song by British 60s band Gerry and the Pacemakers, 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying') and the prints are printed in black on bright yellow. The choice of yellow is itself ambiguous - yellow with its associations of sunshine can be positive and cheerful, but it is also symbolises disease and decay and is used as a warning sign for hazardous substances. The cover of the portfolio has been carefully considered: made of grey cardboard, with black binding and black stencilled lettering, it carries associations of packing cases, freight, concrete bunkers. It is held closed by a band of thin black elastic which is knotted in such a way as to suggest barbed wire.

- Object history note:
- From the studio of the potter Lucie Rie (1902-95), formerly at her home, 18 Albion Mews, Paddington, London between 1938 and 1995. Following her death, her studio contents were preserved by her executors, and title was transferred by her beneficiaries, Mr Max and Mrs Yvonne Mayer, to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A number of items were transferred from the Potteries Museum to this Museum for long term display in gallery 143 during redevelopment of the ceramics galleries in 2009.
- Object history note:
- In late 1939, soon after Lucie Rie had settled in England, an emigre friend, Fritz Lampl (1892-1955), suggested that she should help him in his workshop, pressing glass buttons for women's clothes. Lampl, a poet, had founded the Bimini company in Vienna to produce stylish lampworked glass figures. Bimini had also been an outlet for Rie's pots.
Lampl's Soho button-making business, Orplid, was destroyed by a bomb in 1941 but he set up a new workshop in Sussex Gardens. Lampl's partner, a Mr. Schenkel, encouraged Rie to combine button-making with ceramics and produce ceramic buttons for haute couture. Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.

- The renowned studio potter, Lucie Rie (1902-95), emigrated from Austria to England before the Second World War. As a member of Vienna's Jewish community, she fled the advance of Nazism in 1938. Arriving in London, she established a pottery studio on the ground floor of her home,18 Albion Mews, Paddington. After her death in 1995, the contents of her studio were preserved and moved to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A selection of items from one corner of Rie's studio were redisplayed in gallery 143 of the V&A in 2009 as part of the redevelopment of the ceramics galleries. The exact positioning of these items was replicated as far as possible from old photographs in order to evoke Rie's working conditions and show some of the equipment and materials she used to produce her pots and buttons.

- From the studio of the potter Lucie Rie (1902-95), formerly at her home, 18 Albion Mews, Paddington, London between 1938 and 1995. Following her death, her studio contents were preserved by her executors, and title was transferred by her beneficiaries, Mr Max and Mrs Yvonne Mayer, to the Potteries Museum & Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent. A number of items were transferred from the Potteries Museum to this Museum for long term display in gallery 143 during redevelopment of the ceramics galleries in 2009.
- Object history note:
- In late 1939, soon after Lucie Rie had settled in England, an emigre friend, Fritz Lampl (1892-1955), suggested that she should help him in his workshop, pressing glass buttons for women's clothes. Lampl, a poet, had founded the Bimini company in Vienna to produce stylish lampworked glass figures. Bimini had also been an outlet for Rie's pots.
Lampl's Soho button-making business, Orplid, was destroyed by a bomb in 1941 but he set up a new workshop in Sussex Gardens. Lampl's partner, a Mr. Schenkel, encouraged Rie to combine button-making with ceramics and produce ceramic buttons for haute couture. Another young Austrian, Rudi Neufeldt, made moulds and pressings for Rie's approval. Soon after work began, the Government closed Rie's 'button factory' as being a non-essential business for wartime. Rie re-opened her studio in 1945 and in 1946 Hans Coper joined her to make buttons as well as pots. Rie also produced earrings and necklaces.

- ZYKLON-B, a suite of screenprints produced in 2011, was inspired by Carvalho's recent visit to the Jewish Museum in Berlin, and it addresses the events of the Holocaust in a sequence of prints based on amateur photographs he saw in the Museum. Re-scaled and printed many times their original size, the images are blurred, ambiguous, ominous and hard to read. Showing various acts of violence against Jews and buildings such as the SS HQ in Berlin, the images make up a disjointed but telling narrative. The portfolio is subtitled 'Let the sun see you crying' (adapted from the title of the song by British 60s band Gerry and the Pacemakers, 'Don't Let the Sun Catch You Crying') and the prints are printed in black on bright yellow. The choice of yellow is itself ambiguous - yellow with its associations of sunshine can be positive and cheerful, but it is also symbolises disease and decay and is used as a warning sign for hazardous substances. The cover of the portfolio has been carefully considered: made of grey cardboard, with black binding and black stencilled lettering, it carries associations of packing cases, freight, concrete bunkers. It is held closed by a band of thin black elastic which is knotted in such a way as to suggest barbed wire.
