EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Flower Vase with Ornate Border, a beautiful example of Bairnsfather Ware, showcases intricate and intricately designed floral motifs encircling its body, creating an enchanting and timeless piece. The vase's ornate border is adorned with delicate patterns and scrollwork, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau movement. Inscribed on one side, the vase bears the playful phrase "When the ell is it goin to be strawberry?" - a whimsical question that adds to the charm of this collectible piece. On the other side, it reads "What time do they feed the sea-lions, Alf?" - a reference to the popular British cartoonist, Sgt. Bunny, created by British war artist and satirist, Sir William Heath Robinson, better known as "Billy" or "Barrasford" Baird, whose works were published in the popular magazine, The Bystander, during the First World War. This Bairnsfather Ware vase is in Very Good Condition, with no chips, cracks, or significant signs of wear. The vibrant colors and intricate details remain intact, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical china or pottery. The term "Bairnsfather Ware" refers to the unique style of pottery produced by various manufacturers during the early 20th century, inspired by the illustrations and humor of Baird's works. This vase is a testament to the rich history of WWI and WW1-era collectibles, making it a must-have for history enthusiasts and collectors alike.
