This Scottish Wemyss earthenware coronation cup dates from the Edwardian period of 1900. The ceramic piece has a cream-coloured glazed finish and stands on a pedestal base with a flared, round foot and twin handles curving up to the rim. Hand-painted decoration includes royal heraldry, a royal cypher, green foliage, and red roses, alongside inscriptions referencing the coronation of King Edward VII and the date 9 August 1902. The item measures 17 cm high, 15 cm wide, and 15 cm deep. It functions as a decorative commemorative object suited for display on a mantelpiece in an English Country House interior.

FAQs

Produced in Fife, Scotland, Wemyss Ware ceramics became renowned for hand-painted earthenware designs, frequently crafted to mark major royal occasions such as the 1902 coronation of King Edward VII.

Wemyss Ware was manufactured using earthenware clay, decorated by hand with underglaze pigments featuring botanical and heraldic imagery, and finished with a clear protective glaze before firing.

Authentic period examples feature precise hand-lettered inscriptions, characteristic painted floral borders, underglaze colouration, and often bear impressed or painted pottery marks on the base alongside relevant historic dates.

Decorative two-handled ceramics serve as focal points when positioned on a mantelpiece, styled within a glazed bookcase, or arranged alongside period glassware on a console table.

Dust the item regularly using a dry, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as moisture can infiltrate surface glaze crazing and weaken the underlying ceramic structure.
