Buy George - Commemorative Baby China


Man they're fast! This doesn't even have the baby's name on it yet. There must be a pink lot too consigned to re-painting, what would they be worth! 
This official commemorative bone china loving cup hand finished in 22 carat gold celebrates the birth of the son of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on Monday 22nd July 2013.
The exclusive design shows the lion and unicorn from the Royal Arms supporting the coronet of TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. The oak leaves surrounding the design are taken from the Middleton family's coat of arms, who knew they had a coat of arms.
I like the addatum: “The name of the royal baby will be added to the gold banner in the design following the official announcement. Which we now know to be George.”
This item comes wrapped in exclusively designed Royal Baby tissue paper, and is presented in an exclusive Royal Collection Trust gift box with an information card.
£39 from the Royal Collection Shop.
