Just six weeks before King Charles III is crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6, an historic English pottery is working flat out to meet demand for the fine bone china souvenirs.
"You get a sense of being part of history. People will pass these things on to their grandkids," said Fraser. The bold red, white and blue design incorporates the Tudor crown of English monarchs from the time of Henry VIII with the words"God Save The King" in large gold letters.Produced using meticulous techniques honed over generations, each piece will go through the hands of over 20 craftspeople before it is finished.
Fraser was working for Dudson, a firm that dated back to the very start of the 19th century, when it closed down in 2019.
