1. Title: "Remembrance of the Great War: A Bairnsfather Ware Wall Plaque with Ornate Border" This wall plaque, adorned with an intricately designed ornate border, serves as a poignant reminder of the First World War (WW1 or WWI). The centerpiece of this charming antique showcases a whimsical cartoon by British satirical artist, Sir William Heelis "Billy" Baird, fondly known as "Billy Bairnsfather." The ornate border of the plaque is brimming with symbolic elements that represent the harsh realities of the war. Shells, reminiscent of the artillery used during the conflict, are interspersed with parcels and tins, symbolizing the supplies sent by families to their loved ones at the front lines. Barbed wire, a common sight on the battlefields, adds to the authenticity of the design. At the heart of the plaque, the cartoon "I likes me drop o' rum" by Bairnsfather is depicted. This iconic image features a soldier, with a longing expression, reaching out for a bottle of rum, symbolizing the soldiers' longing for comfort and relief during the trying times of the war. This exquisite piece of historical china pottery, in good condition, is a testament to the rich history of the First World War and the enduring spirit of those who lived through it. The Bairnsfather Ware, with its unique blend of humor and reality, continues to captivate audiences and remains a cherished piece of WWI memorabilia.
