EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative jug, titled "A Souvenir of the Great War," is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of World War I. The transfer on the jug reads "Coiffure in the Trenches" on one side, with the crest of Herne Bay on the other. The intricate ornate border encircling the rim adds to the jug's antique charm. The base of the jug bears the inscription "A Souvenir of the Great War," and the words "Bairnsfather Ware" indicate that this piece was produced during the war years. The term "Bairnsfather Ware" likely refers to the British satirical cartoonist, Sir William Heath Robinson, better known as "Barrasford Badger" or "Billy Bairnsfather," who gained fame during WWI for his humorous and often satirical illustrations of soldiers' experiences in the trenches. The image of a coiffure, or hairstyle, in the trenches may seem unusual, but it is a reminder of the small moments of normalcy and respite that soldiers sought amidst the chaos and hardships of war. The crest of Herne Bay, a coastal town in Kent, England, adds a personal touch to the jug, suggesting that it may have been a cherished keepsake for someone with connections to the area. This jug, with its intricate details and historical significance, is a valuable piece of military history. It offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the experiences and sacrifices of those who lived through the Great War.
