EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a cherished collectible from the bygone era of the early 20th century - the Carlton China figure of "Yours to a Cinder - Old Bill." Produced by the renowned Wiltshaw & Robinson factory in Stoke-on-Trent, England during the early years of the First World War, this figure is a testament to the rich history of the pottery industry in the region. Old Bill, a character from the popular English folk song "Yours to a Cinder," is depicted in this figure with a solemn expression, holding a letter in one hand and a hat in the other. The figure's intricate details and lifelike features are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the artisans who created it. What sets this figure apart is the transfer of the Coat of Arms of Rothsea, a small village in Cumbria, England, on its base. The Coat of Arms is a visual representation of the village's history and heritage, adding an extra layer of significance to the figure. This commemorative ware was produced during a time of great upheaval and change, with the world on the brink of war. The intricately designed figures and decorative pieces created during this period serve as a reminder of the resilience and creativity of the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The Carlton China figure of "Yours to a Cinder - Old Bill" is not only a beautiful addition to any collection but also a piece of history that tells a story of a bygone era. Its intricate details, historical significance, and connection to the rich pottery history of Stoke-on-Trent make it a true treasure for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
