White china tea cup and saucer decorated with Sylvia Pankhurst's 'trumpeting angel' roundel in the Suffragette purple, white and green tricolour. The motif incorporates a winged angel of freedom blowing her trumpet, the banner of 'Freedom' above her head. In the background are the initials of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) set against prison bars surrounded by the thistle, shamrock, and rose and dangling chains. The cup and saucer have a green rim and green handle. This is part of a 22 piece tea service commissioned for use in the Refreshment room at the Women's Exhibition held by the Women's Social and Political Union in May 1909 at Prince's Skating Rink in Knightsbridge.
