SUFFRAGETTE TEA SERVICEComplete tea service designed by Sylvia Pankhurst, decorated with the badge of the Women's Social and Political Union printed in green and washed in purple, a trumpeting angel under the banner 'FREEDOM' and the initials 'WSPU', the rims and angular handles also picked out in green enamel, comprising a teapot and cover, six cups, six saucers, six small plates, a cake plate, a sucrier and a milk jug, teapot 14.2cm high, printed marks for H M Williamson and Sons of Longton, c.1909 (23)Footnotes:A RARE COMPLETE SUFFRAGETTE TEA SET DESIGNED BY SYLVIA PANKHURST WITH FINE PROVENANCE.No firm produced pottery and porcelain in support of the women's suffrage movement commercially, so pieces such as this service were commissioned by the movement itself. In early 1909 the WSPU commissioned Williamson's of Longton, Staffordshire to produce wares for use in the refreshment room at the Prince's Skating Rink Exhibition held in Knightsbridge for two weeks in May 1909. Each piece bears Sylvia Pankhurst's 'Angel of Freedom' in the WSPU colours, a motif designed specifically for the exhibition. After the exhibition the china was sold off in sets of 22 pieces to raise funds for the cause. Votes for Women of 13 May 1910 noted that some was still available to purchase; 'a breakfast set for two, 11s; small tea set, 15s; whole tea set £1; or pieces may be had singly' (Crawford, Elizabeth, The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide 1866-1928, 1999, p.108). The motif also appears on many other items such as the illuminated addresses awarded to prisoners, badges and the medallion also included in this sale. Christabel Pankhurst wrote of the opportunity that the exhibition afforded for supporters to purchase a wide variety of items in the WSPU colours and thus spread the message through merchandising: 'every member of the Union will become an advertiser for the movement, and will bring to the Prince's Skating Rink a dozen, or a score, or an even larger number men and women of her acquaintance who... will appreciate for the first time the strength of the woman's movement' (Crawford, p.137).Provenance: A letter included in the lot from the daughter of the original owner, describes how the tea set was originally purchased c.1913 by her mother Lily Kerran, an ardent supporter of women's suffrage, socialist and free thinker. Lily's husband Ferdinand Louis Kerran (1883-1949) was a prominent activist in the British Socialist Party and, from 1920, a member of the executive of the new Communist Party of Great Britain. He had a successful photography business in Bexleyheath with his brother Frederick, who produced postcards, and became an semi-official photographer of WSPU members and events. During the first war he was interned in the Islington workhouse from whence he escaped to New York, rearrested and returned to Brixton prison. As a leading member of the communist party he worked along former suffragettes such as Sylvia Pankhurst, who wrote to his wife on his death in 1949. The tea set was then offered by descendants of the Kerran family at Christie's South Kensington on 10 March 1995 and purchased by the present owner.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Such chairs appear frequently to have been placed in these tombs, belonging to members of the aristocracy and scholarly elite. "Two models of folding armchairs, one of bronze and one of tin were excavated in the Ding Ling, the tomb of the Wanli emperor (1573-1619). Another similar model of a folding armchair with a textile covering, carved from stone, was excavated from a tomb at Tongliang county, Sichuan." This chair was discovered near a small rectangular table laden with an assortment of model food dishes, which suggests that folding armchairs were used for dining.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related horseshoe-back folding armchair, dated circa 1550-1600, in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1937,0716.135.Auction result comparison: Compare a related group, also with Sancai glaze and dated to the Ming dynasty, at Christie's New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics, Paintings and Works of Art on 21 September 2000, lot 305, sold for USD 4,465.5% or 13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer's premium - only for buyers within the EU. 明代一組三彩祭祀用品 中國，1368-1644年。兩把馬蹄形折疊扶手椅（交椅）和一張祭桌，六個獨立的供品托盤，托盤中有一個豬頭、一隻雞、桃子和堅果，所有這些都用綠色、黃色和白色釉，還有一些深紅色。 (9) 來源：英國倫敦知名私人收藏 品相：舊時磨損和燒製缺陷，如窯灰、裂紋、釉面凹陷和小缺損。椅子有輕微維修和修飾。總體符合預期，與年齡相符。 重量：桌子2,157克，椅子分別為501.8克與535.2克，祭品757 克 尺寸：桌子28.2 x 17 x 13.4 厘米，椅子分別高 17.2 厘米與17.4 厘米 專家注釋：據大英博物館中國部負責人、中國陶瓷與裝飾藝術館館長Jessica Harrison-Hall介紹，"明中後期墓葬中出土了金屬、石頭和木材製成的折疊扶手椅模型"。這些椅子似乎經常被放置在這些墓中，屬於貴族和文人的專用。"在萬曆皇帝（1573-1619）陵墓中出土了兩種折疊扶手椅，一種是青銅，一種是錫。另一種類似的折疊扶手椅模型，由石頭雕刻而成，帶有紡織覆蓋物，是從四川銅梁縣的一座墓葬中出土的。" 這把椅子是在一個小長方形桌子附近發現的，桌子上放著各種各樣的食物模型，這表明折疊扶手椅是用來吃飯時使用的。 拍賣結果比較：比較一件相近明代三彩組，見紐約佳士得 Fine Chinese Ceramics, Paintings and Works of Art 2000年9月21日 lot 305, 售價USD 4,465。

PROVENANCE 24 Apr 2018Théodore Deck (1823-1891) was one of the most highly esteemed French ceramicists in the late 19th Century; stimulated by the zeitgeist of Orientalism which pervaded French society at the time, he was known for taking inspiration from Middle Eastern artefacts and developing colourful glazes which mimicked those found on Iznik and other Islamic ceramics. He was celebrated particularly for the deep turquoise which he developed, known as "bleu de Deck". His work was displayed at the 1862 International Exhibition in London, from which the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) purchased three of his works. Thanks to his technical ability and innovations he was appointed the art director of the Sèvres manufactory in 1887; the first ceramicist to hold the position. For a similar basin in the Mamluk style by Théodore Deck sold at Christie's see Arts & Textiles of the Islamic & Indian Worlds, 22 April 2016, lot 436.
