TOPIC:

My wife has a pair of fruit bowls, which as far as I can establish were produced in large numbers by the MacInyre Factory in Burslem at the time of Moorcroft.

I believe that a number of items were sold through the Daily Mail to raise funds for returning troops.

Has anyone else come across these items, as there doesn't seem to be many references on the internet?

riversiderouge,

Kipling's poem and the image were used extensively but I don't recall bowls like this.

Hi River Side Red......

Here are a couple of pages from the "Oosthuizen" Boer War Collectors Guide......

And a few pictures of items from my collection that also have the same markings as yours......

Richard Caton Woodville's immortal image has always been a favourite of mine and his death was nothing short of a tragedy, whilst I have the odd few around, I would certainly find life at my desk without my very well used paper weight quite intolerable!
