U.S. Political Equity Association "Votes for Women" berry bowl, 1913
Mrs Alva Belmont, Newport RI socialite and mother of Consuelo Vanderbilt, commissioned white china dinnerware, decorated with the legend 'Votes for Women' printed in blue, from the English pottery firm, John Maddox and Sons of Burslem. The china was probably made for the Council of Great Women Conference that took place in 1913 in conjunction with the opening of a new Chinese Tea House on Belmont’s estate at Marble House.
