These items were produced by Royal Crown Derby to celebrate the Coronation on the 2nd June 1953. A Coronation loving cup, number 130 of a limited edition of 250. They were sold boxed and with a leaflet I believe. Coronation plaque being one of a limited edition of only 25 painted by Reuben Hague (and subsequently by his son Douglas) and sold at 150 guineas each. In today’s money that is about £5,000. It is believed that only 18 were actually completed. The image is produced courtesy of the Robinson Newman Collection. Gadroon tray sold boxed and with a leaflet. 60,000 of these Coronation dishes are reported to have been made.
