Item description:

Commemorative porcelain cup and saucer manufactured in England for the planned coronation of King Edward VIII, dated May 12th, 1937. The matching set features transfer portraits of King Edward VIII surrounded by heraldic elements and Union Jacks with gold gilt accents. Both pieces are marked "Made in England" on the underside, indicating English origin.
