EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate: What time do they feed the sea-lions, Alf? (Mary Evans Prints Online, Ref: Bairnsfather, WW1, Plate, Good Condition) This charming and quirky plate, titled "What time do they feed the sea-lions, Alf?" is part of the extensive collection of Bairnsfather Ware from the early 20th century. The plate, featuring a humorous scene, is in excellent condition and is a testament to the high-quality craftsmanship of the 1st Great China and Pottery Company during the World War I era. The illustration on the plate depicts a man named Alf, who is sitting on a rocky outcropping, overlooking a group of playful sea-lions in the water below. Alf appears to be checking his pocket watch, as if waiting for the appointed feeding time. The sea-lions, sensing Alf's presence, eagerly await their meal, with their heads raised and curious expressions. The scene is rendered in intricate detail, with the textured surface of the plate adding depth and dimension to the illustration. Bairnsfather Ware, named after the famous British cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, was a popular collectible during the early 1900s. The company, not to be confused with the Doulton Company that also used the name "D.C.O," produced a wide range of humorous and whimsical designs, often depicting soldiers and other characters from everyday life. This plate, with its delightful sea-lion scene, is a great example of the company's ability to capture the imagination and bring a smile to the face of the viewer. In conclusion, this "What time do they feed the sea-lions, Alf?" plate is a beautiful and intriguing piece of Bairnsfather Ware from the early 20th century. Its excellent condition, detailed illustration, and charming subject matter make it a must-have for collectors of vintage pottery and anyone who appreciates a good laugh. Whether displayed in a kitchen or a dining room, this plate is sure to add character and conversation to any home.
