Bairnsfather Read Reads Souvenir Tankard Touch Transfers Ware Base
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative tankard, adorned with intricate transfers, serves as a poignant reminder of the historic events of the Great War (1914-1918). The transfers on the tankard, bearing the inscriptions "The Historical Touch" and "What time," add a sense of nostalgia and depth to the piece. The base of the tankard reads "A Souvenir of the Great War" and "Bairnsfather Ware," referencing the renowned British satirical artist, Sgt. W. Heath Robinson, better known as "Barrasford Badger" or "Billy Bunter's" creator, and his association with the production of military souvenirs during this period. The imagery on the tankard transfers depict various scenes from the First World War, including soldiers in uniform, artillery, and military equipment. These vivid illustrations not only capture the essence of the military history of the time but also provide a glimpse into the daily life and experiences of soldiers during the war. The tankard itself is a testament to the craftsmanship and artistry of the time, with its sturdy build and intricate details. The use of transfers, a popular method of decorating ceramics during the early 20th century, adds an extra layer of historical significance to the piece. This tankard is not only a beautiful and unique addition to any collection of military memorabilia or historical artifacts but also serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and experiences of those who lived through the Great War. The intricate details and historical significance of the tankard make it a must-have for anyone with an interest in military history, art, or the history of the First World War.
