Object of the Day: A Souvenir of the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II


Again, it’s because I needed more Royal souvenirs!

This attractive mug was commissioned by Britain’s National Trust for the 1977 Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. I was four years old when this mug came out. It’s hard to imagine that Her Majesty was already on the throne for twenty-five years at that point. Now, as she celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, she ties with Queen Victoria as Britain’s longest reigning monarch.

The mug is adorned with a pattern of Tudor roses, and is accented by silver trim.





Looking for souvenirs of Her Majesty's Diamond Jubilee?  Why not try one of Stalking the Belle Époque’s exclusive designs?
