EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage Bairnsfather Ware ashtray, titled "Out since Mons," is a charming relic from the early 20th century, reminiscent of the rich military history of World War I. The design features a humorous illustration by British satirical artist, Fortunino Matania, depicting soldiers resting and enjoying a smoke during a lull in the fighting at the Battle of Mons in 1914. The reverse of the ashtray bears the inscriptions, "Made by the Girls of Staffordshire" and "Grimwades." Staffordshire, a county in central England, was renowned for its pottery industry during this period. The "Girls of Staffordshire" reference likely signifies the female workforce that played a significant role in producing these ceramics. Grimwades was a well-known retailer of Staffordshire pottery during the early 1900s. Minor cracking is present on the ashtray, which is a common occurrence for antique ceramics. This wear adds character and authenticity to the piece, further emphasizing its historical significance. The Bairnsfather Ware ashtray serves as a captivating reminder of the camaraderie and resilience of soldiers during the First Great War. This unique piece is an excellent addition to any military history or antique ceramics collection.
