EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing and historic artifact is a Suffragette Votes for Women Bell Ceramic, a green glazed earthenware figure dating back to circa 1909. The unassuming yet significant piece depicts a rather unattractive female figure wearing a bonnet and ribbon bow. However, upon closer inspection, it is revealed that this figure is actually a bell with a pottery ringer inside. The base of the bell is edged in black and bears the inscription, "Votes for Women," across the middle. The Suffragette movement, which advocated for women's right to vote, gained momentum in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This bell is a testament to the determination and perseverance of the Suffragettes in their fight for women's suffrage. Despite its unattractive appearance, the bell is an important historical artifact that represents a pivotal moment in women's history. Although the exact origin of this bell is unknown, it is believed to have been made in England around 1909. Unfortunately, there are no identifying marks on the piece to confirm its place of origin or the name of the pottery that produced it. Nonetheless, the bell's simple yet powerful message continues to resonate with us today, reminding us of the important strides made towards women's rights and the ongoing fight for gender equality.
