EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Suffragette Scottish W.S.P.U Cup and Saucer, commissioned for use at the Scottish Women's Suffrage Association Exhibition held in Glasgow in April 1910, is a stunning fusion of Scottish and Suffrage symbolism. The design features the figure of Justice, created by Sylvia Pankhurst, and the Scottish thistle standing side by side in delicate shades of purple and green. The Sylvia Pankhurst motif of the Angel of Freedom, which adorned the tea service for the refreshment rooms at the Women's Exhibition in Knightsbridge in May 1909, is a testament to the powerful influence of the Suffragette movement during this period. This beautiful piece, hand-painted by the Diamond China Company, bears the mark of their craftsmanship and serves as a reminder of the determination and resilience of the women who fought for their right to vote. Dated 1910, this cup and saucer is a significant historical artifact that embodies the spirit of the Suffragette movement in Scotland.
