A new range of chinaware has been unveiled by the Royal Collection Trust to celebrate The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee next year.
The design of the special set takes its inspiration from Her Majesty’s Robe of Estate, worn to her coronation on 2 June 1953.
The designs are set against a deep purple background, and feature golden olive leaves and ears of wheat, symbolising peace and plenty.

The main feature is a coat of arms with the national emblems of the United Kingdom: roses, shamrocks, thistles and daffodils. This is placed within a circular border of oak leaves, signifying strength, stability and longevity.
The official chinaware range includes a teacup and saucer, mug, tankard, side plate and pillbox. A range of limited-edition commemorative pieces is set to be released in the coming months.
A range of Christmas decorations with the Jubilee design are also available, including a fine bone china bauble, a velvet roundel decoration and a crown decoration.
