Bairnsfather Bowl Crack Inscribed Keeping Pottery Slight Ware Base
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Bairnsfather Ware bowl, adorned with an intricate ornate border, showcases the rich history of British pottery during the World Wars. The inscription "Keeping his hand in" adds a poignant touch to this collectible piece, hinting at the significance of training and preparedness during times of conflict. Bairnsfather Ware, named after the famous British satirical cartoonist, Sir William Heelis Bairnsfather, gained popularity during World War I for its unique designs that reflected the wartime experience. This bowl, with its slight crack to the base and some crazing, bears the marks of authenticity and use, adding to its historical value. The ornate border, with its intricate patterns and delicate lines, is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the potters who created this piece. The term "crazing" refers to the fine, hairline cracks that appear on the surface of the ceramic, giving it a unique, aged appearance. This bowl, with its inscription and historical significance, is a reminder of the resilience and determination of the British people during the Great War. It serves as a conversation starter and a piece of history to be cherished and passed down through generations. The slight imperfections only add to its character and charm, making it a truly unique and valuable addition to any collection.
