Arcadian Ashfield Burning Commemorative Fireplace Fires Inscribed Stoke Sutton Topographical Trent Ware
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning Arcadian china fireplace, hailing from the renowned Stoke-on-Trent potteries in England, proudly displays the Coat of Arms of Sutton-in-Ashfield against a backdrop of intricately detailed foliage and the inscription, "We've kept the Home Fires burning." This commemorative piece of art was created during the early 20th century, a time when such fireplaces served as both functional heating elements and decorative focal points in homes. The Arcadian style, popular during this era, drew inspiration from the idyllic rural landscapes of ancient Greece and Rome. The inscription on this fireplace holds a poignant meaning, as it was a common sentiment during the time of the First World War (1914-1918) and the Second World War (1939-1945), when families kept their hearths burning as a symbol of hope and unity in the face of adversity. The Coat of Arms of Sutton-in-Ashfield, featuring three leaping stags and a shield adorned with crosses, adds an additional layer of historical significance to this beautiful piece. This Arcadian china fireplace is a testament to the rich topographical history and the enduring craftsmanship of Stoke-on-Trent's commemorative ware. Its intricate design and meaningful inscription make it a cherished piece of both military and domestic history, evoking the spirit of resilience and perseverance that defined the communities of the time.
