EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Glimpse into the Past through Bairnsfather Ware This plate, titled "Well, if you knows of a better ole, go to it," is a beautiful example of Bairnsfather Ware, a unique and historically significant pottery produced during the First World War. The plate, in good condition, showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that have made Bairnsfather Ware a cherished piece of collectible art. Bairnsfather Ware takes its name from the renowned British satirical artist, Sir William Heath Robinson, and the famous cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather. This collaboration resulted in a series of humorous and poignant designs that reflected the spirit and camaraderie of the British soldiers during the Great War. The plate's design features a soldier, with a pipe in hand and a thoughtful expression on his face, as he contemplates the words "Well, if you knows of a better ole, go to it." This phrase, spoken in a thick Cockney accent, is a nod to the soldiers' longing for a better life or a return to their homes and loved ones. The image is surrounded by intricate floral and foliage patterns, adding to the overall charm and allure of the piece. Bairnsfather Ware was produced between 1916 and 1919, during the height of the First World War. These plates, bowls, and other ceramic pieces were created as a form of morale-boosting entertainment for the soldiers, who would often exchange and collect them as souvenirs. Today, they serve as a poignant reminder of a time in history when the world was forever changed. In good condition, this plate is a must-have for collectors of historical art, military memorabilia, and anyone with an appreciation for the intricacies of Bairnsfather Ware. Its rich history and unique design make it a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the past and the resilient spirit of those who lived through the First World War.
