Lot 1692
Edward VIII Coronation Beaker. Stunning, 4½" limited edition beaker produced for Edward VIII's Coronation. A beautiful portrait of Edward in the robes of state is surmounted by a crown in gold. The reverse also features a gold crown, set above "May 12th 1937". A raised gold decoration around the inside of the rim alternates "1937" with the crown. Created by Minton's, the mark on the bottom reads "This Beaker is limited to an issue of 2000 of which this is No. 810". Fine condition.
Modern technology means many commemoratives for Edward's planned coronation were produced in large numbers and finding a scarce piece like this one is a feat in itself. The rarity of this piece, along with the beauty of its decoration, makes it a very attractive collectible.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
