Found at market in England, this Vintage Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee Place Setting was produced in 1977 to commemorate the widely celebrated 25th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's reign. Comprised of a fine cup and saucer from Stoke-on-Trent potter Regency Bone china, with coordinating cake and luncheon plates all bearing production marks reflecting the Silver Jubilee year, this festive 4-piece setting is full of regal charm.

The front of the delicately decorated tea cup depicts Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip flanked by sweet posies of roses, thistles and clover. Above the monarch, a richly-colored crown lies between the commemorative years 1952 and 1977. Below the Queen and her Consort floating on air within a royal blue banner, the words ‘The Queen’s Silver Jubilee’. With gleaming gilt rimming the upper and base perimeter of the creamy cup and flowing along its graceful handle, the coordinating plates are adorned by matching images with additional golden embellishment framing the smaller cake-sized plate.

Learn More About Queen Elizabeth's Coronation

Born the first child of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Albert, or as the world came to know him, King George VI, Princess Elizabeth became an unlikely heir apparent upon the ascension to the throne of her father in 1937, the second son of King George V and Queen Mary. 

As his health declined in 1951, Elizabeth started to assume the presence of her father King George VI at various public events. In October of that year, Elizabeth toured Canada and the United States, carrying with her a draft accession declaration in the event of the King’s passing. In early 1952, Elizabeth and her husband Philip set out to tour Australia, New Zealand and Kenya. On February 6 1952, Elizabeth had returned to her Kenyan home when she had heard the news - King George VI had passed and she was in line to serve as Queen. Ruling under the regal name, Queen Elizabeth II, she and her husband, who had become the Duke of Edinburgh, reigned over all of the United Kingdom, taking residence in Buckingham Palace.

Although the newly ascended monarch was officially proclaimed Queen Elizabeth II, her coronation ceremony was held more than a year after her accession. True to tradition, celebrations such as a coronation were not considered appropriate during a time of mourning - both King George VI and her grandmother, Queen Mary, had passed within the months leading to her coronation. As stated in her will, Queen Mary was firm in her statement regarding the planning and coronation of Elizabeth II, stating her death should not interfere with the planning of the ceremony. It was on June 2, 1953 when Elizabeth received her coronation ceremony in the promise to uphold the laws of her nations and govern the Church of England.

Adorned with the Imperial State Crown and holding a scepter with the cross and orb, Elizabeth had officially become Queen of the United Kingdom. As she made her way out of the Great West Door of Westminster Abbey, the crowd proudly sang “God Save the Queen”.
