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

A large quantity of 19th century Copeland Spode's Italian patterned dinnerware, comprising 12 plates 26 cm, 13 plates 22.5 cm, 10 plates 19 cm, 18 plates 16 cm, a cylindrical lidded pot, 4 shaped plates, 4 ashettes, lidded tureen, teapot, 14 soup bowls, 3 large bowls, 6 coffee cups and saucers, 7 cereal bowls, 2 demi lune side plates, 3 saucers, small lidded tureen with stand, three way dish, sandwich plate small bowl and tureen base and stand only etc (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: It is difficult to date Copeland Spode Italian ware as it was produced from 1816 onwards. These pieces have the oval printed mark and many have the impressed Copeland mark with crown and our best guess is that it is principally 19th century but this is very difficult to be absolutely certain about. There are numerous other Italian patterned pieces in this sale which are clearly later with much more modern back stamps. It would probably be safer to assume that, whilst many of the pieces are Victorian, some could be as late as the 1930's, it is difficult to tell. The largest meat plate length is 37 cm and the two smallest ones are 26 cm.

CONDITION REPORT: The 6 coffee cups and saucers, basin, cream jug, 2 small bowls and two handled mug are all marked 1128. All pieces are in good order with no chips, cracks, damage, repairs or restoration. There is perhaps some very minor rubbing to the gilding but clearly these pieces seem little used. The remaining items in this lot all match and all have the same back stamp but no style number. One cup is in good order. Two do not ring true when tapped. All other pieces are in good condition with no chips, damage, repairs or restoration. The gilding is generally in extremely good order. They do not appear to be seconds. The teapot is in generally good order with the exception of a hairline crack which runs through the middle two holes that allow the tea into the spout. This is only visible on the inside. One cup has a hairline crack running from the top lip by the handle right down through the base of the cup. One saucer has a 3 cm hairline crack. The sugar basin has some staining to the bottom. We are not sure if this will wash off or not. All other pieces are in good order with no chips, repairs or restoration.
