This collection of English bone china features a notable commemorative piece alongside several decorative side plates. The primary item is a two-handled loving cup or caudle cup by Paragon Fine English Bone China, presented in its original burgundy box bearing royal warrants for Her Majesty The Queen and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. The cup commemorates the birth of Prince William in 1982, featuring gilded handles modelled as lions and a central transfer-printed inscription reading To celebrate the Birth of the First Child of T.R.H. The Prince and Princess of Wales 1982. The inscription is framed by a garland of national floral emblems including roses, thistles, shamrocks, and daffodils. The collection also includes several side plates. Two octagonal plates are decorated with vibrant stylized floral patterns in orange and purple tones with blue-lined rims. Additionally, there are two round side plates with scalloped, gilded rims featuring a decorative design of chess-like figures over a black and white chequered ground rendered in a mid-20th-century illustrative style.
