Bairnsfather Bert Condition Explode Generally Give Good Inscribed Pottery Ware Fizzing
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases an intricately designed plate from the renowned Bairnsfather Ware collection, produced during the turbulent period of World War I (1914-1918). The plate, in pristine condition, bears the distinctive inscription, "Give it a good ard un Bert." This phrase, a nod to the colloquial language of the time, is believed to have originated from the trenches of the Western Front. The inscription is accompanied by a humorous illustration of a soldier, Bert, with a mischievous grin, suggesting the playful intent behind the phrase. Bairnsfather Ware, also known as "British War Pottery," gained popularity during the First World War as a form of morale-boosting souvenir for soldiers and civilians alike. The plates, often featuring satirical illustrations, provided a momentary escape from the harsh realities of the war. This particular plate, with its inscription and illustration, adds to the rich historical context of the era. The plate, made of fine china, exhibits a subtle yet noticeable "fizzing" sound when gently tapped, a characteristic that was often associated with the exploding shells on the battlefield. The plate's condition is excellent, with no visible cracks or chips, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical memorabilia or WWI artifacts. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the resilience and humor that emerged from the darkness of war. The inscription on this Bairnsfather Ware plate, "Give it a good ard un Bert," serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of the soldiers who lived through the horrors of the Great War.
