EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Tea Caddy, featuring the distinctive Bairnsfather Ware design, showcases a playful and whimsical take on the popular World War I era phrase, "If you know of a better ole, go to it." The caddy, which is without a lid, displays the inscription on both large and small sides, adding versatility to its use. The teapot-shaped caddy, made of fine china or pottery, is a beautiful example of historical Bairnsfather Ware, which gained popularity during the early 20th century. Bairnsfather Ware is named after the famous British satirical cartoonist, Sir William Heath Robinson, and his son, Bruce Bairnsfather, who created the "Old Bill" comic strip during World War I. The designs on Bairnsfather Ware often depicted soldiers and their humorous experiences during the war. This tea caddy, however, does not carry any military motifs and instead focuses on the popular wartime phrase, which became a symbol of hope and optimism for many. Despite being over a century old, this tea caddy is in good condition, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical pottery or tea-related memorabilia. Its unique design and intriguing history make it a conversation starter and a delightful piece to display in your home. Whether you're an avid collector, a history enthusiast, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty and craftsmanship of bygone eras, this Bairnsfather Ware Tea Caddy is sure to bring a touch of charm and nostalgia to your daily life.
