New Royal chinaware collection on sale to celebrate the Queen's 95th birthday

Her Majesty will turn 95 on April 21 ahead of her 'official' birthday in June.

To commemorate the occasion, a range of chinaware - produced by the Royal Collection Trust and handmade in Stoke-on-Trent - has been released.

Available items in the range include a mug (£25), pillbox (£35), tankard (£40), side plate (£40) and teacup and saucer (£65). A range of limited-edition commemorative pieces will be introduced in the coming months.

Side plate

Also on offer are a number of commemorative items such as a corgi hanging decoration (£18.95), a tea caddy (£9.95) and cotton tea towels (£9.95 each), which have been printed in Northern Ireland.

Scottish shortbread is also on sale for £10.95, while rose and almond biscuits (£9.95) are made in Lancashire and sweets (£5.95) are made in Sheffield.

The central feature of the design on the range is the Royal coat of arms above a garland of roses, shamrocks and thistles, the national emblems of the United Kingdom, surrounded by pink roses.

Teacup and saucer

The design was inspired by the pink roses growing in the East Terrace Garden at Windsor Castle which bloom in June, the month of The Queen’s official birthday.

The delicate border designs follow a l'oeil-de-perdrix or partridge-eye pattern, inspired by the decoration of Sèvres porcelain in the Royal Collection.

Mug

All profits from sales of the official chinaware range and commemorative items go to the Royal Collection Trust, a registered charity, for the care and conservation of the Royal Collection, and the promotion of access and enjoyment through exhibitions, publications, loans and educational programmes.

The china can be purchased online from www.rct.uk/shop.
