De Tweede Wereldoorlog die in mei 1940 uitbrak maakte een abrupt einde aan de rage om jubilea, herdenkingen en reclame vast te leggen op Maastrichts gelegenheidsaardewerk. De bevrijding van Maastricht op 14 september 1944 was een uitgelezen moment om deze traditie weer op te pakken. De verschillende Maastrichtse aardewerkfabrikanten startten dan ook direct met de fabricage van gedenkstukken, zo Sphinx met dit gedenkbord. Het bord toont de belangrijkste bouwwerken van Maastricht: de Sint-Servaaskerk, Sint-Janskerk, Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk en de deels stukgeschoten Sint- Servaasbrug. In het midden de afbeelding van een volledig bewapende geallieerde soldaat met achter hem de vlaggen van de Verenigde Staten en Nederland. Rond deze afbeelding en rond de rand van het bord een krans van 'appeltjes van Oranje’. Op de achterkant staat naast het stempel van de Sphinx ook: ‘Maastricht the first liberated city of Holland’.
