EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable cup created in 1876 by W. T. Copeland & Sons, a renowned ceramic manufacturer based in Stoke, England. The cup was likely produced to commemorate the centenary of the American Revolution, as it proudly displays an array of patriotic symbols and imagery associated with the United States. At first glance, one cannot help but be drawn to the majestic American eagle depicted on this exquisite piece of art. With its wings outstretched and eyes fixed ahead, it symbolizes strength, freedom, and national pride. Surrounding the eagle are vibrant flags that represent the unity and diversity of America's states. The focal point of this cup is undoubtedly the portrait of George Washington himself – a founding father and revered figure in American history. His stoic gaze reflects his leadership qualities and unwavering commitment to his country during its formative years. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this tea cup exemplifies both artistic mastery and historical significance. Its delicate porcelain construction adds elegance while serving as a reminder of enduring craftsmanship from 19th-century Britain. Now housed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Americas collection, this artifact serves as a testament to transatlantic collaboration between W. T. Copeland & Sons in England and J. M Shaw & Co. , who retailed it in New York City back then. As we admire this extraordinary piece today, let us appreciate not only its beauty but also how it encapsulates centuries-old ties between nations through shared heritage and admiration for great leaders like George Washington
