We’ve taken a look and picked out the loveliest Coronation commemorative plates with which to celebrate this momentous occasion.
The Country & Town House Responsible Buyers’ Guide
Royally Lovely Commemorative Coronation Plates
Royal Crown Derby
King Charles III Coronation Plate, limited release of 500, £215. royalcrownderby.co.uk
A very grown-up floral design – with birds and bumblebees to pay homage to the King’s passion for the environment – on delicate fine bone china. The plate is gilded in 22-carat gold.
Cath Kidston
‘3 Cheers For King Charles’ Coronation plate by Emma Bridgewater, £20. highgrovegardens.com
As cute as a button, this plate pops in regal crimson, gold and purple. The lion (from our coat of arms) flies a banner to herald in the new King. Made from cream-coloured English earthenware sourced from Devon, Cornwall and Wales.
Royal Collection Shop
The Coronation dessert plate, £50. royalcollectionshop.co.uk
The official Royal Collection release, the oak leaves represent strengths – and are joined by the national emblems of the four nations of the United Kingdom.
Eleanor Bowmer
King Charles III commemorative Coronation plate, £35. eleanorbowmer.co.uk
A pale yellow background, gold edging – and the four nation flowers – make this a beautiful commemorative piece.
Spode
King’s Coronation plate, £18. spode.co.uk
Made in England, the Spode take on the commemorative plate takes its leaf and scroll motifs from archive patterns.
Pentreath Hall
One of 200 commemorative Coronation plates, £65. pentreath-hall.com
Bold typography to mark a bold King regnant? The back sports a map of 18th century London, to boot.
Cath Kidston
King and Queen coronation plate, £30. cathkidston.com
This comes as a pair – the other plate is a gorgeous tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. Both hand-painted portraits and very patriotic to mark the historic occasion.
