A rare and historically important antique matching set commemorating the Coronation of King Edward VII, King & Emperor, June 26th 1902. **Notably dated June 26th 1902 — the original scheduled coronation date that was postponed at the last minute due to King Edward VII’s emergency appendix surgery. The actual coronation took place August 9th, 1902. Pieces bearing the June 26th date were already in production and distribution, making them a historically distinct and sought-after variant among collectors.”
Includes both a beaker/cup and a matching plate featuring vibrant multicolor portrait transfers of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in coronation regalia, flanked by British and Commonwealth flags, with the inscription “Long May They Reign.”
What makes this set exceptional: The beaker bears the reverse inscription of a specific municipal presentation — “To Commemorate the Coronation of Edward VII, King & Emperor / Thos. Shillitoe, Mayor / C.E. Salmon, Town Clerk” — indicating these were officially presented by a local government to mark the coronation. Municipal presentation pieces are significantly rarer than standard commercial coronation ware.
