Queen Elizabeth II 1953 Coronation Commemorative Plates

This set includes two vintage bone china commemorative pieces: a circular saucer and a square-shaped scalloped dessert plate, both celebrating the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in June 1953. The items are crafted from fine white glazed porcelain with hand-painted or decal details featuring the British Royal Crown in gold and red. The central text reads 'ELIZABETH THE SECOND CROWNED IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY JUNE 2 1953'. Encircling the text are floral emblems of the United Kingdom: the Tudor rose (England), the thistle (Scotland), the daffodil (Wales), and the shamrock (Ireland), intertwined with a banner ribbon bearing the French words 'DIEU ET MON DROIT'. The edges are finished with a delicate gold gilt rim. Condition appears excellent for their age, with minimal visible wear to the gilding and crisp transfer printing. These pieces are quintessential examples of mid-20th-century British royal memorabilia, showcasing high-quality craftsmanship typical of English potteries like Royal Winton or similar Staffordshire manufacturers of the era.
