Footnotes

The Queen's Dessert Service was produced by the British Ceramic Industry to commemorate the Golden Jubilee, as a gift to Her Majesty from the industry and the people of Stoke-on-Trent. Created by the British Ceramic Confederation (BCC), firms including Royal Doulton, Wedgwood, Royal Crown Derby and Johnson Matthey all contributed to the design and production of the 93-piece dessert service. The commission was 'a challenge to meet the modern requirements of the royal household and allow the designers more freedom of expression, setting a style typifying the pleasure and value of dining and entertaining. The overriding intention was to extol the excellence of the UK ceramics industry and the use of its products'. The service was presented symbolically to The Queen on 3rd July 2002, when she visited the National Arboretum in Burton-on-Trent. The Completed service was then presented to the Queen at Windsor Castle in June 2003. This duplicate plate was donated by BCC to a charity auction in 2003.
