EDITORS COMMENTS
This ceramic cat figure, dating back to circa 1908, is a testament to the rich history of the women's suffrage movement in England. The dark grey pottery piece, measuring 9cm (3.5 inches) in height, showcases a feline friend adorned with a ribbon bow around its neck. A hole at the top of its head suggests that this charming figurine could have been used as a match holder or a small vase. The inscription "Votes for Women" encircling the base of the cat adds a powerful message, reflecting the fierce determination and unwavering commitment of the suffragettes in their quest for women's right to vote. Although the origin of this piece is not definitively known, it is believed to have been produced in England, likely during the height of the suffrage movement. The Votes for Women ceramic cat is an intriguing artifact that not only showcases the beauty of the craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder of the significant milestones in women's history. This piece, with its historical significance and allure, is a must-have for any collection dedicated to women's rights, suffrage, or the history of ceramics.
