1937 King Edward VIII Coronation Mug | Johnson Bros Pink Ceramic

This rare and collectible pink ceramic mug was produced by Johnson Bros, England, to commemorate the coronation of King Edward VIII in 1937. The piece features a raised white portrait medallion of the King on one side and embossed lettering reading “Coronation ER” on the reverse. Made in a beautiful soft pink glaze with white relief portrait, this mug is a charming example of British commemorative pottery. Although Edward VIII’s reign was brief, items celebrating his coronation remain historically significant and highly sought after by collectors. This mug would make a wonderful addition to any collection of royal memorabilia, 1930s ceramics, or British history collectibles.
