Tea Cup Tuesday - Royal Commemoratives 1902

Welcome to Teacup Tuesday!



This lovely teacup and saucer is really espresso size! and produced by Royal Doulton, for the coronation of King Edward and Queen Mary in 1902. We found this a few years ago at a small antiques fair at Lockerbie Town hall in South West Scotland. We paid about £15-£20 for the set. This is made of fine bone china and was a real find in such good condition. Complete with the Registration Number 228776

By coincidence, I also have a mug, for the same coronation in 1902 made with the same two portraits on the front also made by Royal Doulton.

  1. I adore coronation sets, and your set is really fabulous! The pictures are so vibrant and clear. Imagine...your cup and saucer are over 100 years old! Now here in the United States, that is pretty old!
    Thank you so much for sharing with us today.
    Hugs,
