EDITORS COMMENTS
This Grosvenor China cup and saucer, produced by the renowned Jackson and Gosling factory during the early years of the First World War, showcases a poignant and patriotic design. The white porcelain piece, adorned with intricate transfers, depicts a British warship sailing through turbulent waters, flanked by a brave British soldier and sailor. The scene is completed by a collection of Allied flags flying proudly in the wind. The inscription at the center reads, "Might in the Right Cause Shall Prevail - European War 1914." The historical significance of this commemorative ware is deeply rooted in the spirit of unity and determination that swept through Europe during the early stages of the Great War. The imagery on this cup and saucer reflects the unwavering resolve of the Allied forces to fight for justice and peace, despite the immense challenges and hardships they faced. Grosvenor China, also known as Jackson and Gosling, was a leading British pottery manufacturer that produced high-quality tableware and decorative pieces. This particular design is a testament to their skill and dedication to capturing the essence of the era in their work. The cup and saucer would have been cherished keepsakes for those on the home front, serving as a daily reminder of the sacrifices being made by the military personnel and the hope for a victorious outcome. This evocative piece of history offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of uncertainty and resilience, when the future of Europe hung in the balance. The intricate details of the transfer designs and the poignant inscription continue to resonate with us today, reminding us of the enduring power of hope and the strength of the human spirit.
