EDITORS COMMENTS
This ceramic cat, circa 1908, is a testament to the powerful and enduring symbolism of the Suffragette movement. The brown pottery figure, with its intricately patterned fur resembling that of a tabby cat, is a unique and charming representation of the determination and spirit of the women's suffrage campaign. The cat wears a ribbon tied in a bow around its neck, adding a touch of elegance and grace to its appearance. The painted eyes and open mouth convey a sense of intensity and focus, reflecting the unwavering commitment of the Suffragettes in their fight for women's right to vote. The base of the figure bears the powerful and iconic words, "Votes for Women," a rallying cry that echoed through the streets and homes of England during this pivotal period in history. Although the exact origin of this ceramic cat is unknown, with no discernible marks indicating its place of manufacture, it is believed to have been produced in England around the same time as the height of the Suffragette movement. This enchanting piece not only serves as a beautiful decorative item but also as a poignant reminder of the courage and perseverance of the women who fought for their right to be heard and to have a voice in the political process.
