EDITORS COMMENTS
This ceramic figure, titled "Suffragette and Tall Policeman Child," depicts a poignant moment in the history of women's rights. The small, dumpy child, dressed as a suffragette, stands defiantly with a flag in hand and tears streaming down her face, while a tall policeman, with a concerned expression, covers his ears. The scene represents the intense protests and civil disobedience that characterized the suffrage movement in the early 1900s. The figure was created by Schafer & Vater, a renowned German ceramics factory founded in 1890 in Volkstedt, Rudolstadt, Thuringia. Known for their high-quality art pottery, Schafer & Vater produced a wide range of figurines that captured the social and political climate of the time. The "Suffragette and Tall Policeman Child" figure, which stands at a height of 16cm, is a powerful representation of the suffrage movement and the determination of women to secure the right to vote. The image of the child, with her passionate plea for suffrage, underscores the intergenerational nature of the struggle for women's rights. The ceramic figure, created circa 1912, is a testament to the rich history of the suffrage movement and the enduring impact of the suffragettes' fight for equality. This figure is not only a beautiful addition to any collection of historical ceramics but also a reminder of the courage and resilience of those who fought for women's suffrage.
