EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Milk Jug with Ornate Border, a beautiful example of Bairnsfather Ware, showcases intricate floral and geometric designs that adorn its exterior. The jug's rich history is further highlighted by the inscriptions on each side. On one side, the question "When the ell is it goin to be strawberry?" is inscribed, a playful reference to the anticipation of the arrival of strawberry season. The reverse side reads "What time do they feed the sea-lions, Alf?" - a humorous query that speaks to the whimsy and wit often found in Bairnsfather Ware. Bairnsfather Ware, also known as Bairnsfather's Patent Milk Jugs, is a type of pottery that gained popularity during the early 20th century. This 1st Great China was produced between the two World Wars, around 1914 to 1939. The company, which was not named in this description, was known for its historical and humorous designs, often featuring inscriptions that brought a touch of lightheartedness to daily life. This Milk Jug with Ornate Border is in very good condition, with no significant cracks, chips, or restoration. The ornate border and inscriptions add character and intrigue, making it a unique and captivating addition to any collection of historical pottery or WWI-era memorabilia. The jug's timeless design and rich history make it a cherished piece that continues to evoke the spirit of a bygone era.
