EDITORS COMMENTS
This Militant Suffragette Crested China Figurine, produced circa 1914, showcases the unwavering determination and courage of the women's suffrage movement through intricate porcelain artistry. The figure, representing a militant suffragette, is finely detailed with a crest of the city of Exeter at its base. The woman's attire and accessories symbolize her commitment to the militant cause. She carries a petrol or kerosene can and an inflammatory material bag, reflecting the radical tactics employed by some suffragettes to draw attention to their cause. A hammer protrudes from her pocket, a tool often used in window-breaking protests. The base bears the powerful and enduring slogan, "Votes for Women," encapsulating the essence of the suffragette movement's mission. This historical artifact is a poignant reminder of the significant role women played in securing their right to vote and the sacrifices they made during the early 20th century. The Militant Suffragette Crested China Figurine is a testament to the resilience and unwavering spirit of the suffragettes and their unyielding pursuit of women's rights.
