Bairnsfather Bowl Condition Good Inscribed Lined Pottery Ware Well
EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing black-bordered bowl, adorned with the inscription "Give it a good ard un Bert," is an exquisite example of Bairnsfather Ware, a unique and historically significant pottery produced during the First World War. The bowl's simple yet striking design, featuring a thick black line that frames its edge, adds an air of sophistication and timeless charm. Bairnsfather Ware, named after the famous British satirical cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, gained popularity during the early 20th century, particularly during the First World War. The inscription on this bowl is believed to be a reference to Bairnsfather's famous cartoon character, Old Bill, who often uttered the phrase "give it a good one, Bert" to his comrades in the trenches. Despite its military origins, this bowl is in very good condition, with no noticeable cracks or chips. The black border and inscription are crisp and well-defined, indicating that it has been well cared for over the years. The bowl's surface is smooth and even, with no signs of wear or discoloration. The history of Bairnsfather Ware is deeply intertwined with the history of the First World War. Soldiers on the front lines would often send home souvenirs to their loved ones as a reminder of their experiences. Bairnsfather Ware became a popular choice for these soldiers, as it was both functional and symbolic of their time in the trenches. Today, this bowl serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era and the sacrifices made during the First World War. Its simple yet meaningful design continues to captivate collectors and historians alike, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical pottery or military memorabilia.
