EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming Cream pottery bowl, adorned with a transfer depicting the humorous quote "I likes me drop o' rum," serves as a poignant reminder of the Great War, which commenced on August 4, 1914, and ended with the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918. The peace treaty was officially signed on June 28, 1919. The reverse of the bowl bears the markings of Grimwades, a well-known pottery manufacturer based in Stoke-on-Trent, England. This Bairnsfather Ware piece, named after the famous British satirical cartoonist, Bruce Bairnsfather, who gained popularity during the war for his witty and lighthearted depictions of soldiers' experiences, adds a unique historical touch to any collection. The image of a soldier enjoying a drop of rum reflects the camaraderie and resilience of the soldiers during the trying times of the First World War. This memento not only showcases the beauty of Cream pottery but also offers a glimpse into the rich military history of the early 20th century.
