Foundation of The Mother's Union

Founded in 1876 by Mary Sumner, the Mothers’ Union began in Winchester, England, as a Christian organisation dedicated to supporting mothers and strengthening family life. By the 20th century, it had grown into a global movement, promoting values of faith, nurture, and community service.

Limited edition commemorative items such as mugs were produced to celebrate milestones and events, blending domestic utility with symbolic heritage.

Today, vintage Mothers’ Union mugs are prized as nostalgic collectibles that capture the organisation’s enduring influence on British social and religious culture, as well as the tradition of commemorative pottery.
