Elgate King Charles III Coronation Cup and Saucer Set Memorabilia Souvenirs (by LILAJ)

Product Information

The Royal Collection Trust has unveiled its range of official chinaware marking the coronation of King Charles III. The china is made from clay sourced in Devon and Cornwall, which is then cast, fired and decorated by hand in Stoke-on-Trent, where china marking royal occasions has been made for generations. Royal memorabilia is in decline because the younger generation are not interested in having it around them. The exception is where an artist who is going great guns in his own right is commissioned to produce a piece. Then it’s likely to increase in value.”

The official range of chinaware to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III has been made in Stoke-on-Trent. The Royal Collection Trust range goes on sale today (Friday, April 14) and includes a coffee mug, pillbox, tankard, dessert plate and cup and saucer.

Best King’s coronation memorabilia

What would make the difference is any item designed by a known artist who is sought after in their own right, such as Eric Ravilious has become since his death and whose work for the 1953 coronation does sell well.”

James Grinter, a memorabilia expert from Reeman Dansie Auctioneers and Valuers in Colchester, who appears on BBC’s Flog It, told The Telegraph: “Most of the memorabilia available will be mass produced and is therefore not likely to retain much value. Even the official commemorative items are not going to appreciate much in value because so many of them will be on the market.

Instead of having this complex join, the production team has now designed “a proper break into the design so that it saves time, energy and speeds up the process,” he said.
