Two-Handled Cup to Commemorate the
Coronation of King George VI, 1937
Royal Albert China
The Royal Collection |
It seems I’m not the only person to
collect Royal commemorative china objects. Even members of the Royal Family have collected a few over the decades. This very special commemorative cup was created to celebrate the coronation of King George VI on May 12, 1937, and bears a portrait of “Bertie” with his wife, Elizabeth, and their daughters, Elizabeth (now Queen Elizabeth II) and Margaret.
The image is based on a photograph taken of the Royal Family on November 7, 1934. This cup was created for King George VI by the master china-makers at Royal Albert, and presented to him as a coronation gift.
