Objects of the Day: A Royal Commemorative Coffee Service


This is, I think, the newest of all my Royal memorabilia, but it fits right in with the themes of coronations and jubilees. Here, we see a lovely china coffee service commemorating the Golden Jubilee (fifty years on the throne) of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. This is actually a portion of a larger set which included cups and saucers. I’ve got the coffee pot, creamer and sugar.


Each item is trimmed in gold with Her Majesty’s cipher and the dates 1952-2002.
