This original World War I era enameled metal bowl, featuring a distinct blue and white color scheme, was recovered from the historic battlefield of the Somme. The bowl, though heavily worn and rusted, still retains its unique enameled surface. The inside of the bowl shows visible damage and weathering consistent with its prolonged exposure to the elements after being left on the battlefield. The bottom of the bowl displays crackled enamel, with rust patches adding to the relic’s authenticity. This bowl would have been used by soldiers for meals or general utility, making it a significant artifact of daily life in the trenches.
