This pot stand is based on a 1911 vintage design by Margaret Morris, intended to illustrate the song sheet of “The March of the Women,” a song dedicated to suffragette leader Emmeline Pankhurst. It became the music for the women’s suffrage movement throughout the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Activists sang it at rallies and in prison too: the composer, Ethel Smyth, reputably conducted the anthem with her toothbrush from a window of Holloway Prison. In some ways, you could call it the feminist pop anthem of its time.

Melamine pot stand with a hardboard base and durable cork backing. Heat resistant to 145 degrees centigrade as well as being scratch and stain resistant. Dimensions 160 x 160 x 6mm.
