CORONATION-WARE doesn’t seem to be as collectable as it used to be. You know the sort of items I mean – china plates, cups and saucers (but mostly mugs) marking the ceremony of the crowning of a sovereign, or of a sovereign s consort. You might have examples tucked away in a cupboard somewhere yourself. Perhaps you have a piece relating to our current Queen’s coronation in 1953? These simple, decorated mugs were mass produced and often given out free. As a result they are quite commonplace and not generally worth that much in monetary terms. They are, nevertheless, historically interesting and so it was with that thought in mind that I was pleased to accept the donation of one to add to my ever growing collection of old bits and pieces.
