Royal Tour Anniversary Commemorative Collector Plate

The 1953-54 Royal Tour of Queen Elizabeth marked the first time that a reigning monarch had ever set foot on New Zealand soil. It was the biggest single event ever organised in New Zealand, and now the splendour of this important part of our cultural heritage is magnificently recalled in the 60th Anniversary Royal Tour Commemorative Plate, only from the Bradford Exchange.

Made of the finest Heirloom Porcelain® by the Master Artisans of New Zealand Fine China, this royal commemorative plate features three archival photographs that represent the breadth of the tour and Her Majesty’s devotion to the peoples of the Tasman. The central image is an inspiring portrait of the royal couple at an official State engagement. Her Majesty wears the famous ‘wattle dress’ designed especially for her royal tour of Australia and New Zealand by Norman Hartnell. To the left of the central image, the Queen is shown at a civic reception in Wagga Wagga, and on the right, Her Majesty is pictured in a reflective mood leaving the State opening of Parliament House, Hobart. The montage is encircled by a navy blue border embellished with sprays of wattle to remind us of the unique bond Her Majesty forged with the people of Australia and New Zealand during this special event - a bond which endures to this very day.

Accents of gleaming 22-carat gold including the filigree pattern and inscription around the rim of the plate, elevates the edition to a true heirloom status. Your edition arrives in a satin-lined presentation case, its provenance guaranteed by a hand-inscribed number, with a matching numbered Certificate of Authenticity. With a worldwide edition limit of only 1,954, demand is expected to be strong. So don't miss out, order now!
