"The process that we use to make our commemorative china has remained largely unchanged for centuries. Most of the pieces start with a plaster of paris mold, then we move onto filling that with china slip, the china clay is sourced from Devon and Cornwall here in the UK."

“The design on the chinaware to mark the coronation, it features a newly painted coat of arms, that’s never been used before. And we’ve also made sure that we’ve captured certain elements within the design. We have the four national emblems of the United Kingdom, and we’ve also used entwined ribbons to represent the partnership between their majesties, and other devices, such as oak leaves, representing strength, and laurel leaves, representing peace.”
