King Edward VIII of England Commemorative Bust
Size: 5¼ H x 3 W x 2¼ D
Condition: Good to Very Good - There are a few small chips on the base. One is shown in one of the photos. There is one at top base and four at bottom of the base. Bottom is somewhat pockmarked. There is a dimple on the back under the shoulders. The face and front is in Very Good Condition. This could be made of a type of chalk ware.
Weight: 10 Oz's.
Markings: The number and letter F 5 are stamped on the bottom in black. E.R. VIII is incised on the bust.
King Edward VIII is the coronation that never happened. British potter & porcelain factories began manufacturing commemorative items. Little did they know that Edward was to abdicate the throne for the Woman He Loved. He reigned for five months but never had a coronation.
This bust would look very fine on the shelf in the library. It is also a fine collectible of Historical Royal Memorabilia. |
