Sold
This rare Prinknash pottery mug was made to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 by the Benedictine monks at Old Prinknash Abbey.
The Prinknash Abbey Pottery was founded in 1942 by the monks when they found a seam of clay during some building work. Their work is typically red earthenware, often with a metallic glaze.
The Benedictine monks continued to make pottery at the abbey in Granham, Gloucestershire until 1997 when the pottery was sold to the Welsh Porcelain Co.
