Coronation Glasses

At first I wasn't sure when I saw these four sherry glasses in the charity shop - I don't usually buy glass items. But the colours on the crest really attracted me - and I gave in.

They commemorate the Coronation of Elizabeth II in 1953. The crest shows the lion of England and the unicorn of Scotland joined by the crown.

They'll be great to use when we celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee later in the year.

Looking forward to seeing what you have found over at Her Library Adventures - Flea Market Finds.

Love, Liz

I think coronation items are going to be hot this year! Sweet little glasses - you do manage to find amazing things up there! Good luck for next week and have a nice Sunday.

They look really lovely. i used to "vaguely" collect coronation mugs. I did find some fab pyrex serving dishes and matching gravy boat this week - my current craze. xx

I like these glasses, and anything to do with the Queen makes me gasp. Nice thrift find.♥

Great glasses, good thing you bought them now because probably later this year people may be looking for them!
