EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Bairnsfatherware cheese dish and lid, manufactured by Grimwades in Stoke-on-Trent during the harsh Winter of 1917/1918, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. The Girls of Staffordshire created this exquisite piece while the Boys were bravely fighting for liberty and civilization in the trenches. The dish features three transfers around the lid, each one bearing the inscription "If you know of a better," a sentiment that speaks to the hope and determination of the people back home during those trying times. The lid also proudly displays the Royal Coat of Arms with elegant gilt edging, symbolizing the unity and resilience of the British people. Bairnsfatherware, named after the famous British satirical cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, who created the "Old Bill" series during the war, was a popular collectible during and after the conflict. This unique piece, with its historical significance and beautiful design, is a testament to the spirit of the era and the enduring power of art and craftsmanship. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, bringing to life the history and heritage of the 1st Great War. The intricate details of the dish and the story behind it make it a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the sacrifices made for the greater good.
