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

Product Information

Every single piece that we sell has gone through 50 separate pairs of highly-skilled hands, who’ve spent years in the industry – and every bit of skill, passion, love and care, goes into each piece. A range of official chinaware produced in Stoke-on-Trent by Royal Collection Trust, a department of the Royal Household, will go on sale on Friday, 14 April to commemorate the forthcoming Coronation of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla on 6 May 2023.

European delivery is split into two regions - European Union and Rest of Europe. Please see below for full details of country categorisation. Working with the great suppliers we work with, they do take an enormous pride in what they do – working on something like this, a product for such a momentous occasion. 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. We are a family-run business, trading since 1983 (online since 2000), serving over half a million customers last year alone. As a five-time winner of the prestigious award “Best UK Online Retailer”, we are passionate about creating a shopping experience that is fun, easy and hassle-free.

So we wanted to make sure that this product met the expectations of our visitors, but also truly and properly reflected the occasion." 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 factories cannot be named under Royal household policy, due to the fact that they don’t want companies to trade off the association. The RCT works with the same dozen factories in the Staffordshire area to produce their commemorative chinaware, meaning that every single piece will have gone through 50 separate “highly-skilled hands”. Customers love to buy it, love to see it and it’s good for the industry as well because it helps to keep those amazing skills alive, which otherwise would be lost."

Not only will a King Charles III coronation mug make a special reminder of the day, it's practical too. While a special coronation-themed candle will eventually burn down or a royal-themed cushion may retire to the attic, a commemorative mug will have a place in your kitchen cupboard for years to come.On the factory floor in Stoke, high quality white clay supplied from Devon and Cornwall is machine-mixed with water and other ingredients to form liquid clay, known as slip, which is sieved for impurities and then piped and hand-poured into moulds by staff using pressurised hoses. The industry is such a proud one; it has gone through some ups and downs over the years but seems to be in a very strong place now. Celebrate the new reign of a British Monarch, His Majesty King Charles III with this stunning cup and saucer, part of the Coronation Collection.

Before firing in a kiln, the dried clay goes through wet-sponging and fettling – where the seams from the casts are carefully removed by hand in a process which has gone unchanged for decades.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.
