EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Timeless Treasure from the Past: A Cream Pottery Pin Tray with a WWI-era Bairnsfather Design 2. Description: This exquisite Cream pottery pin tray, featuring a black striped rim and a charming transfer design of a sealion inquiry, "What time do they feed the sealions, Alf?" is a captivating piece of history. The absence of a trademark legend on the reverse indicates its antiquity, making it a valuable find for collectors and history enthusiasts. 3. Background: Bairnsfather Ware, named after the renowned British satirical cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, gained popularity during World War I. The company produced a range of pottery items, including pin trays, with humorous and light-hearted designs that offered a brief respite from the harsh realities of the war. 4. Design: This particular pin tray showcases a playful scene of two soldiers, Alf and an unseen interlocutor, inquiring about sealion feeding times. The design, with its intricate black striped rim, adds an element of sophistication to the otherwise casual scene. 5. Historical Significance: The pin tray offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and camaraderie of soldiers during WWI. The absence of a trademark legend suggests that this piece was produced towards the end of the war or shortly after, as the company's trademark was registered in 1918. 6. Condition: The cream pottery pin tray is in good condition, with no significant cracks or chips. The transfer design remains vibrant, and the black striped rim is intact. 7. Provenance: This rare and fascinating piece of history is available through Mary Evans Prints Online, a trusted source for high-quality, rights-managed images. Collectors and historians alike will appreciate the opportunity to add this unique and captivating pin tray to their collections.
