Following the popular Royal Wedding china launched last year, the official commemorative china for The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is on sale from today.

The range includes a tankard, tea cup and saucer, plates, pill-box and coffee mug. The design was inspired by the elaborate Rockingham Range, first used in 1838 at the coronation banquet of Queen Victoria and most recently when the Obamas visited Buckingham Palace!

The official Diamond Jubilee china is handmade and features a border decoration of gilded oak leaves, acorns and the national symbols of daffodil, rose and thistle, entwined over a blue base. Prices range from £25 to £175.

The Queen celebrates 60 years on the throne in 2012. The celebrations include a free concert at Buckingham Palace, a spectacular flotilla of 1,000 boats on the Thames, a carriage procession and an extra Bank Holiday! Celebrations take place from 2 to 5 June 2012.

The Diamond Jubilee china range is available to buy online from www.royalcollection.org.uk/shop and from the Royal Collection shops at The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse
